Gen2 Prius: Custom PIDs for Torque (Android App) with formulas

Great work! Is the 20 PID per second limit of the Kiwi or bluetooth in general?

 

USB, do you own a scangauge ? I am wondering if the torque app can display items you are interested in that the SG cannot.

 

USB, my friend you are a genius! I just got one of those 7" tablet holders that bolt to the passenger seat rail bolt by the center console base with a flexi stalk. This coupled with a hacked Nook Color with CM7.0.3 ROM (with working Bluetooth!!!) and an ebay cheapy OBDII bluetooth reader had the RPM gauge and a couple others I was looking for. Only these Prius specific gauges were lacking...NO MORE! I just plugged them into Torque and will let you know the results shortly.

Below is a picture of my current setup. Let me know if you want someone to beta test your future custom PIDs.

 

PS: USB, have you tried out the data logging? Have you found a way to log to the SD on an Android device?

 

I tried the custom displays and was running into some 'freezes' of all. I have to try same with my 10" android tab to rule out the bluetooth quirks of the Nook Color.(was never intended to have BT enabled and known range issues) I'll let you know on my commute home.

 

USB, another couple of Q's on what displays you use and why:
I think I saw about 12 PID's /sec on one of the settings screens for me. On my main dashboard I want RPM, HV SoC, HV Amps, HP, MPGi, MPGAvg, Cat Temp, Coolant Temp

What do you use and why? My main dash is mostly to max MPGs, what else would help me? What other useful PIDs should I have on a second page? Just curious what others thoughts are.

 

USB, for tablet holder, search on ebay for 'car floor seat bolt mount tablet' They have one for ~$30 for 7" tablets and 10" is ~$47. Installs in 1minutes with a 14mm(I think) socket wrench. They have some pictures up there, but I'll post more soon. I have a Nook Color 7" and a Viewsonic G-Tablet 10" both rooted with CM7.0.3 stable ROM on them. Hulu Plus, Netflix, Flash, etc. working like a charm so far.

 

I think of it like my iPhone FM Trans/charger. The charger is there, but I always take the phone. similarly, you'd take the tablet and only the flexi stalk would be left behind. I guess you could stretch it down in front of the pass. seat limiting it from view if needed. I'd think a radio in the dash would be more worrisome than this thing though. Make sense? I'd make sure my glass coverage has a low deductible in any case once you add new electronics/stereo, so I don't this would up risk in those cases.

 

USB,

I tested the custom PIDs yesterday again on my 10" tablet. No go for me. After about 1 minute I got the gauges freezing though the status icon showed connected to OBD, no errors in OBD status. I removed both and restarted. Worked without issue for 15 minutes. Added HV Amps PID, froze, removed, restarted, added HV PoC, froze, removed, restarted, went another 15 minutes with stock PIDs no issues. Any suggestions?

 

MG1 RPM:
PID 21C3
Equation ((g*256)+h)-16383
Header 7e2

Works fine for me!

 

USB, got the Kiwi BT OBD reader and it's quality. Now the PIDs stay up, stable. :rockon:

Q: My HV SoC PID seems to hover around 60% and not move much from there, where the MFD shows around 75%. Have you or others seen similar?

Q2: What are MG# RPM's measuring and used for? Maybe I'm just missing an acronym, I'm usually good at cyphering them.

Q3: Any other custom PIDs and how are you all using them?

PS: I just changed phones and now running Torque on a Sprint EVO 3D nicely, so my justification for a separate tablet to run Torque diminishes unless I keep the phone for only Pandora, etc. and dedicate the tablet for Torque
