How RevDash works, in the order you will use it.
The Android app is a live OBD-II dashboard. Recording a trip is optional and stays on the phone until you upload it. The pages at revdash.me/app are where those trips replay. Nothing here requires an account until you want a drive off the phone.
RevDash is not Torque, and it uses none of Torque’s branding or plugins. Two features people still call “Torque import” live here anyway, and they are unrelated:
-
Custom PIDs: a CSV of extra sensors
in the community
extendedpidsformat, imported in the app. - Torque Pro upload: Torque’s own “upload to webserver” setting, pointed at a URL RevDash mints for your account, so those drives appear in the same trip list.
Start here
- First drive Install, plug in, connect, look at gauges. Ten minutes if the adapter behaves.
- Adapters Classic, BLE, and Wi-Fi ELM327. What the chip means when it fails.
- Dashboard Gauges, charts, HUD, alarms, codes, timed runs.
- Trips Record locally. Export CSV or KML. GPS is optional.
- Custom PIDs Import the CSV your car needs. No second Play purchase.
- Cloud & replay Upload, replay on a 3D globe or a self-hosted 2D map, share a link.
- Torque Pro upload Paste a URL into Torque. Drives land in your RevDash account.
- Troubleshooting Adapter silent, ECU silent, upload missing, map empty.
What you need
- Android 8.0 or later.
- An ELM327-compatible adapter: Bluetooth Classic, BLE, or Wi-Fi. USB is not supported.
- A car that speaks generic powertrain OBD-II, broadly petrol from 2001 and diesel from 2004 in the EU, and 1996 onward in the US.
VW, Audi, SEAT and Škoda additionally answer Mode 22, which is where oil temperature and charge pressure come from. Everything else in Mode 01 depends on what your ECU actually answers. RevDash shows the ones it got rather than inventing the rest.
Honest limits. Generic OBD-II is mostly powertrain. The app does not read ABS, airbags or body modules, does not write to the ECU, and does not run actuator tests. There is no iPhone app. There is no Android Auto build yet, the Play listing does not claim one.
