This is a OBD reader and Torque plugin for Malaysian made Proton cars, particularly for Campro engines older than 2010. Read real time data, read error codes.!!

This is the free version with limited sensors/parameters and features. More parameters (a lot more..!) and features are available in the paid version. Try this free version and if you like it, please buy the full version from Googleplay..!

In the meantime try this free version and please revert to me for issues. My email address as below.

Prerequisite:

1. Now this app has its own standalone application while being a Torque plugin. You need to get Torque Pro installed in your device in order to use it as a plugin. Please note that you need to launch Torque Pro from this ProtonOBD app, so that the plugin service can start properly.
2. You need ELM327 compliant adapter. Make sure you do not use ELM327 version 2.1 which does not support k-line communications. Get adapters confirmed to work from ahmad hamidon (youu can get it from http://bit.ly/obd2malaysia ).
3. Please also make sure you follow the instruction below. And make sure connection to ECU is OK before scan error, erase error or check the status to avoid app crashes.

Important notes..!

Later versions of android, for saving battery life, there is phone setting to stop apps from starting automatically. Please ensure you have set this plugin to autostart. The same thing will need to be done if you have autostart manager in your device.

Typically, the settings are in battery settings of the device.
