    Hello, I'm a Windows phone user, i was looking fo an App to monitor sensors of My Yaris HSD (european sister of PriusC).
    I've tried HobDrive but no Prius / Hybrid sensors works for me, tried Obd Auto doctor but i could not find any hybrid sensors.

    Finally i've found this app: "Car Scanner ELM OBD2"
    Car Scanner ELM OBD2 – App di Windows in Microsoft Store

    It can already show Battery life, but finally seems that is possible to insert custom PIDs!

    Did someone already try? It works?
    Where can I find some PIds like electric motor's rpm to see if it works?
    Thank you!

    I've just talked about Hobdrive and now I've found that Hobdrive has been just updated! With a prius 30 profile also.. Got to try!

    i like the new app gui, looks great on hd displays, thanks.
    But not completely satisfied with the hybrid motors data.
    The hybrid page with the "hybrid efficiency" percentage works, but i don'know what is and i haven't found anything about in the manual.

    I've spent half an hour to try all predefined vehicle setting that have sense with third generation Prius (equal or newer to 2009) but almost only engine RPM works.
    I've found a newer "Prius30" profile that comes with a lot of more "hybrid / prius pages" but almost all is always 0.

    My Scanner is an ELM327 v1.5 Wi-Fi by "veepeak" bought from Amazon.

    My car is same as PriusC, a third generation transaxle with 1.5 gasoline engine, this system is since 2012.

    Protocol is "canbus" 11bit 500kbps (ATSP6) but works in hobdrive if i did connect with a different app before. If not the connection and ECu init does not work some times. Even if I press reconnect or turn on the car again.
    Opening after other app usually works.

    Other apps finds 2 different ECU:
    Engine ECU "7E0" and a Hybrid Vehicle power train ECU "7EA".

    All other apps can find a "hybrid battery remaining life" in the second ECU, and the one i've found, adding PiDs from toyota hybrid III gen profile, can show successfully electric motor revs, torque, battery blocks data and so on. Can save and load CSV same way as Torque. But free version can select one additional pid at a time.
    Is this limitation because of i need the full version?
