About this app

This is a Torque plugin for Malaysian made Perodua cars, particularly older cars which does not support generic OBD protocols. Read real time data, read error codes.!! (for use as Torque pro plugin, this version only supports perodua 1.3 engines)

This is the free version with limited sensors/parameters and features. More parameters (a lot more..!) and features are available in the paid version, soon to be released. Make sure you watch this space...!

In the meantime try this free version and please revert to me for issues. My email address as below.

Prerequisite:

1. Now this app has its own standalone application while being a Torque plugin. You need to get Torque Pro installed in your device in order to use it as a plugin. Please note that you need to launch Torque Pro from this PeroduaOBD app, so that the plugin service can start properly.
2. You need ELM327 compliant adapter. Make sure you do not use ELM327 version 2.1 which does not support k-line communications. Get adapters confirmed to work from me or from ahmad hamidon (you can get it from http://bit.ly/obd2malaysia ).
3. Please also make sure you follow the instruction below. And make sure connection to ECU is OK before scan error, erase error or check the status to avoid app crashes.


Important notes..!

Later versions of android, for saving battery life, there is phone setting to stop apps from starting automatically. Please ensure you have set this plugin to autostart. The same thing will need to be done if you have autostart manager in your device.

Typically, the settings are in battery settings of the device.
