AA Torque Puts Engine PIDS on the Monitor Free

[AL Cx5]

Here is a way to put engine PIDs on our monitor. Many other cars, like Dodges, have this info built into their software but Mazda doesn't make this easily available.

With an OBDLink MX or equal this Android app puts engine PIDs like oil temperature, HP, Torque, Boost, and engine load to name a few on the monitor. It works with TorquePro app. It will produce graphs and data logs as well. This app will work on any vehicle with Android Auto

The app is free, TorquePro is $4.95.

I have an OBDLink MX, about $140 and TorquePro. I'm going to test this app today.

Anyone else use this using this app?

I used this app until I got android 14 and it broke for me, I need to get a wireless adapter to make it work again.

After fiddling with it, I have 4 PIDs working.

Afr is at the bottom between trans and intake.

I'll work on chqnging the units to SAE.

Its supper easy to start after connecting to Car Play, simply scroll to the app and poof it's working.

Here is my first cut at one of 3 screen options.

I'm going to ask the developer for more Mazda PIDs.

The transmission PID may be incorrect, the default one in Torque reads coolant temp as trans temp. I screenshot the custom PID that will get you the accurate temp if you want it.

Thanks, that will help!

Do you know how set up boost and oil temp?

 

[sinistriel@]

The regular Boost PID that torque comes with should work,
engine oil temp is
221310
Engine Oil Temp
EOT
0.0
300
x1
*C
(((A*256)+B)/100)-40
AUTO

I'll edit to add the turbo cars have an oil temp that is read directly from the oil pressure/temp sensor and is accurate. Many of the NA cars it is a calculated value based on engine run time and engine coolant temp.

This is really cool.

I still have a Lufi XS that I haven't set up yet

Doesn't work on Android 14. There's newer aa-torque-ex that someone else forked a duplicate(?) build on GitHub just so they could set it up to allow "beta testers" (that's anybody who sends their email address to author to add to the beta tester list) in order to bypass Android 14 limitation to block aa-torque to work on AA. I've PM'ed my email address to them but no response. I can get my old Android phone with Android 13 to work with aa-torque but obviously I'm not going to forgo my current phone for daily AA use.

I mainly use Torque Pro to show individual Tire pressures AND tire temperatures.

I tried before but didn't work on my 2022 2.5L NA with CD.

Be careful if you use bluetooth OBDII module and have it plugged in all the time. The module will be powered 24/7 and somebody outside of your locked/unattended vehicle may be able to bind to the bluetooth module and mess with your car's systems.

Oh wait, there's new update to aa-torque-ex 5 days ago. Can join as beta tester here Installing AA-Torque on Android 14 · agronick aa-torque · Discussion #31

Man, this is exactly what I've been looking for.
Unfortunately, my Pixel 8 is running Android 15 currently so probably no chance this would work.
I've installed everything but AA still doesn't show AA-Torque on the list of apps.

Just joined this and installed AA-Torque-EX and uninstalled the original AA-Torque.
It showed up on AA as an app. But I didn't drive the Mazda to work today so I'll have to wait until I get home to test this in car.

Just tested aa-torque-ex on Android 14 and it works! It's finicky reading the PIDs though, even standard ones it seems. Sometimes it doesn't even connect. It recognizes my custom PIDs from Torque Pro app, sometimes. Will test some more.

Got it to work but requires Torque app to be running on the phone.

As DoubleCH has mentioned, not all PID's work. I'll play with the PID's some more to see what others will display.

Same config here, Pixel 8. I'll watch the thread and see what you guys come up with.

For those who complain no individual tire pressure display on infotainment screen, here are Tire temp/pressure PIDs to add to "custom PIDs in Torque Pro App.

Tire 1 Pressure:
PID: 222a05 unit: psi Max/Min: 50/0 Equation: ((A*1373)/1000)*0.145037738 Header: 720
For Tire 2/3/4 Pressures substitute 222a05 with 222a06/222a07/222a08

Tire 1 Temperature is:
PID: 222a0a unit: C Max/Main: 100/0 Equation: A - 50 Header: 720
For Tire 2/3/4 Temps substitute 222a0a with 222a0b/222a0c/222a0d

Change temp equation accordingly for F instead of C

I'm going to test this week and report back.

I'll post a csv file later with a bunch of specific pids.

 

[sinistriel@]

Here is a list of some common PIDs specific to the Skyactiv cars. Some of them I've collected over the years, some I've sniffed out on the CanBus. Depending on the specific car some will work and some will not. There are a few duplicate names but the formulas are different. For example "Coupling duty cycle" is the AWD solenoid command and will only read for the older cars like the CX-5/9/6 and rare 3rd gen 3 AWD. The "7th gen" newer cars like my 3 turbo it will not work for because Mazda put the control inside the PCM and changed the address. Boost Temp and Charge Air Cooler Temperature may be reversed, they are correct for the 7th gen cars. If you are monitoring those and you see something like 250+f degrees on Charge Air Cooler Temperature and 100 or so on Boost Temp then your car is reversed and you can rename the PID.

The PID KCS is for Knock Learning Control and is helpful to watch if you want to see if your car is removing or adding base timing based on Knock Retard. A positive number here will indicate your car is adding timing above base maps, a negative amount means the car is removing timing. This value will usually reset to zero after getting fuel and then start building.
