Default OBDLink + Android Auto = Basic Live Temp Info

TIL - The OBD Link Android app that works with the OBD Link MX+ dongle has an Android Auto app. You can use the AA app to display a basic live readout of PIDs, including custom Jaguar PIDs. Here is my setup to display Engine Coolant, Engine Oil, and Gearbox temps:


I wish there were a way to display a dashboard with gauges like you can create in the OBD Link app, but I have only been able to show the simple text readout in Android Auto so far. I really wish there was Android Auto support for the Torque app, but I have not found anything that works with current versions of Android. Does anyone have a similar or better setup to display vehicle info through Android Auto?

Does it have settings for an audible/visible alarm past a certain temperature? That's what we really need for AA and CarPlay.

Hmmmm? There was a post about getting torque pro to work with AA. But you have to download some software.

From what I have been able to find, the software that was developed to allow Torque to display through AA doesn't work with Android 14, unfortunately.
