Hi @Bluecruiser

You do not need a premium account for using live data from your OBD, a normal ABRP account is sufficient.

For OBD you need Torque Pro to import your car‘s special OBD PIDs. Torque Light cannot import userdefined PID‘s and therefore it is not useable for your car.

I hope this helps

I use Torque Pro to import my real-time data into ABRP.  However, navigation freezes when doing this.   It works fine if I don't run Torque Pro as well.  Don't know if this is a common issue to everyone, or just me.

The PID file (it is a text file with file extension “.csv”) has to be copied into the folder “.torque/extendedpids”. You have to create the folder “extendedpids” if it doesn’t exist within the folder “.torque” .
