Torque app plus bluetooth adapter in my 100 (2 Viewers)

I too have tried to get the Torque app set up correct and still am off. But I love it and the nexus 7 + blue tooth adapter. For $224 it is a hard to beat all you get ...
 
I don't think I'd buy a tablet just for scanning codes and getting live data. But, considering you can use the tablet as a big screen GPS and maybe as a search engine for businesses etc on the road if equipped with live data transfer, then yes, it becomes interesting and if available would alleviate the need for a dedicated device like a scangauge or ultra. There must also be some obsolete quasi-free Android phones out there that could work, no?

You read my mind. I'm planning an android based head unit but still haven't figured out the am/fm portion of it in my head.

I've been thinking about the same thing. There are a couple of options that are out there but they're all pretty expensive.
 
I just purchased this OBD2 Bluetooth: http://www.rakuten.com/retail/product.asp?sku=224473806&SearchEngine=SkimlinksDirect&SearchTerm=224473806&Type=SkimlinksDirect&Category=Elec&c3ch=Linkshare&c3nid=TnL5HPStwNw&& and am going to use the Torque Android app for it.
My question is: Where is the OBD2 on the 100 LC's? I saw a picture of one but it was a close up and it looked like somewhere inside the cabin near the floor.

Any help here?

Right above the gas pedal beside the hump. Should be easy to find once you look.
 
Thanks guys! I'll try to post something on it when I get it going.
 
Sorry to bump an old thread, but anyone have the PID info for transmission temp for torque or ODB fusion?
 
I am also looking for the Transmission Temp PID for torque for a 2005 Lx470. I have tried changing the scangauge code fiound on mud but it did not work. Any ideas?
 
For those that monitor transmission temperatures, what's normal on the highway/city driving? What's ambient during those times?
 
Highway cruising with torque converter locked sits at about 120-140 F.. City driving usually between 150-170F

Couldn't figure it out, so I gave up for now. Here is my thread on it: ODB Fusion

Yea I had same problem. I read your thread. I tried a bunch of codes. Does anyone have a working scangauge or torque pid for a 2005 cruiser. I spent some time playing with using a calculator to swap the scangauge code to torque pid but didn't work. If there was a different scangauge code I could possibly change it to a torque pid code.
 
Yeah same here. I tried to convert every scangauge code I could find related to the LC, nothing. I would love to get this working before I tow more this summer.

What ambient temperatures and what's the highest you've seen it?

I see +80F ambient on highway when TC locked.

Thanks!
 
I use this scan tool:

ELM327 Bluetooth OBD2 OBDII CAN-BUS Interface Auto Diagnostic Scanner Scan Tool

And I was curious if anyone else ran into a similar issue I am having with it. It works great with Torque and does everything I need it to do, BUT if I leave it plugged in, it basically disables my factory keyless entry. Once I unplug the bluetooth adaptor, the keyless entry works again.

Ditto. Same with my ELM327 OBD2 device. Key Fob will not work when plugged in.
My ELM327 is the larger one like yours.

ALSO, I have three mini ELM327's that just do not work on any vehicle .
They were Ebay purchases for not much money. Love to have a mini ELM327
that would actually work.

I live out here in Ca... So it can get a bit warm.. I see these temps anywhere around the 70-90 F ambient temps... Normal driving an average I'd say between 130-160 F tran temps....

I don't have my hundy anymore, but I did experience the same issue on my GX470. The keyless entry fob would only work sporadically.
 
Ok guys I am hesitant to say I have figured it out but I did get at least 1 number fitting with what I would expect for the trans temp. I found this code for a 2005 Sienna and it appeared to work on my 2005 Lx470. Here is the scangauge code i used as well as the Torque codes I built using the calculator recs online. Let me know what these codes do and if they work.

I hope this works. I was reading 115 deg on sensor 1 and varying from 77 to 250 on sensor. Will have more info when driving later today. This was just trying in driveway after returning from church.

Scangauge:
TXD: 686AF121B4
RXF: 046105B40000
RXD: 2808
MTH: 00090005FFD8

Torque (maybe 2 sensors):
Sensor 1
OBD2 mode: 21B4
Name: Transmission Temp 1
Short name: TFT 1
Min value: 0
Max value: 300
scale factor: x1
Equation: A*(9/5)-38
OBD Headed: leave blank

Sensor 2
OBD2 mode: 21B4
Name: Transmission Temp 2
Short name: TFT 2
Min value: 0
Max value: 300
scale factor: x1
Equation: B*(9/5)-38
OBD Headed: leave blank
 
It appears tacomas had 2 sensors - one in pan/return and one in torque coverter. I would like to see what other people's readings are.
