    I am a new owner and our Prius just passed 1000 at odometer. Hope I could get some information on the Torque application for our daily driving.

    Sorry if this is a real dumb question for experts out there, but I am just trying to get more knowledge and information on those new found toys (2014 Prius two + Mini Elm327 with Torque).

    After upload those Custom PIDs and disabled the reverse beep, what else I could do while reading those real time information out of Torque? What information should I watch out and why?

    So if you could share what you use the Torque application for and why (with some quick reason), I will really appreciate the information.

    Thanks

    My use of Torque is with a Prius C, but the custom pid sets are more or less the same. I like to monitor temperatures, and anything that helps fuel economy. In no particular order, I measure:
    Coolant Temp
    Fuel Input
    HV System Indicator *
    Room Temp Sensor *
    Engine Speed *
    Engine Run Time
    State of Charge *
    MG1 temp
    MG2 temp
    Inverter MG1 temp
    Inverter MG2 temp
    Inverter Coolant temp
    A/C Consumption power *
    Temp of Batt TB2
    Cooling Fan 0

    I also have a virtual pid for fuel economy, derived from Torque's Trip Distance, and Fuel used (trip). This, plus the starred ones above, are on my main screen.
    I have looked at lots of others from time to time, like FR Regenerative Operation, and Batt Pack Current Value, but the ones above I like to regularly monitor.
    Lots of forum members have used scangauge for a long time, which does much the same things, so all their threads are useful.
