Afaik some of the 260's can have issues connecting with T4 let alone an elm327.

The 75 V8 I used to have would connect to an elm327 bluetooth adapter but with limited parameters.

Here's a video I did at the time with torque/elm327 connected to the V8, 30+ seconds in it shows what parameters were available also at 2:20 and then at the end.

Thanks for the info.
Excellent video, I have been using Torque on the TF and found it so good I bought the Pro version, cheap as chips. Much better than ScanXL and the likes.
I had also bought a right angle adapter to eliminate the problem of it catching my leg if left in postion but this new one looks a bit shorter, we'll see.

Just got one of these & the app on my Atrix. Not all the sensors appear to be reading correctly, I'm getting -49deg C on water temps, no boost reading etc on my cdti

New one arrived, that dont work either

Received mine today, plugged in, paired with Samsung Galaxy Ace and it's working fine.
Did a scan and no fault codes logged, bonus.
Will have to play a bit now and find out what else it can do.

How do you pair the plug in unit with the phone/tablet.
Mine is an ASUS android tablet.
