Torque Pro requires a Bluetooth adapter or dongle to work. A list of compatible OBD Bluetooth adapters can be found here. The Torque Pro app is not free and must be purchased from the Google App store. Ultimately, while Torque Pro for PC is an extremely useful app, it must be purchased legally and cannot be used without payment and official registration.
Torque Pro is mainly an application for mobile devices, and we recommend this version of the software. While it is completely possible to use it on a desktop or laptop computer, a smartphone is the much more sensible choice due to portability reasons.
However, on the chance that you would also like to use Torque Pro for PC, here is how to download it.
How to Get it Working on Your PC
First you will need an Android emulator, because Torque Pro is an application designed specifically for Android devices. An Android emulator is a program for PC that essentially allows you to interface with and download Android programs and use them on the PC. We recommend Bluestacks as it is simple to download and install. Like many Android emulators, Bluestacks is totally free to download and use, and requires no service or package fees.
Once Bluestacks has finished installing on your PC, register an account by providing your email address. Once all this is done go to the search bar and type in “torque pro OBD2”. Remember: the emulator is free, but the app is not. Torque Pro for Android and Torque Pro for PC must be purchased.
After making a payment, install the app. It can then be accessed from your Bluestacks menu and used as long as the emulator is open and active. With all these steps done, you can enjoy Torque Pro for PC and all the maintenance and surveillance benefits it brings.
