The torque app is finally here
BlackBerry World - Torque Pro OBD2
It needs a special WIFI adaptor for now until BB sort out there bluetooth issues with the android player.
either way this is awesome to see, i always debating buying this on android, and buying the adapter for my vehicle, now i can contemplate again
Damn you I was going to post this!
Been following his thread on his forums for a while now - I am going to purchase the app and the special wifi dongle.
This is a HUGE boon to the Blackberry community and the funny thing is - they don't know it yet. A proper fully functioning OBD II program - finally! (Laplogger is a pile of trash.)

Great to see. Had it on Android. nice to see it on BlackBerry. :)
Just purchased it - first app I've EVER purchased.
Now I await the arrival of the WiFi dongle... :)

How much is the wifi Adapter and where can i find it ?
Wifi adapter was $32 Canadian shipped from China off of EBAY - you have to get a VGATE wifi adapter as outlined in the Torque wiki here:
Bluetooth Adapters Blackberry - Torque OBD2 Wiki
I just finished checking out the app - it's awesome and is fully functioning unlike the one I tried to sideload a month ago that seemed to be missing huge chunks of the application and wasn't scaled at ALL for the Z10 screen. I cannot wait to use this applicaton. :)
You know what the developer said the key was to him doing this? The android player allowed him to port the app once he found a working adapter rather than re-writing the entire app for Blackberry which lets him focus on improving the app rather than re-writing it. His time is very limited so without the android player this would never have happened.

Can somebody post some Screenshots from a Z10 by times?
What do you mean by: "by times" ?
-Chris-
If somebody is using this app on a Z10 and got some time to make some Screenshots, it would be nice to post them here...
Oh! Ok I gotcha.
Well my dongle is slated to show up within 2-3 weeks so as soon as it gets here I plan to play with the app - I'll get some screenshots at that time. In the meantime all I can do is stare at it and wait. :)

Ordered the adapter, apparently it is going to take a month...
Thanks to all of you though ...

I was happy to see this one too. I actually noticed it for the Playbook first. I run this on Android now with a bluetooth dongle and it's superb. Might just order the wifi one just to be able to use my Z or PB with Torque.
Will this also work on the PlayBook, download before but it did not work.

Its also available in BBWorld on my playbook. But will it work?
It says its for BB10 devices but I'm curious to see if it will work on my Playbook.
Is anyone here with a BB10 device and a playbook willing to test this out on thier playbook?
Yet some ungrateful folks will start whining soon about it not being a 'native app'.

Wife should be wifi

I second this, if my wife had a wifi adapter I'd write a native app for controlling her.

This is another fantastic app...I have the BT version of the adapter and used it successfully on my HTC sensation....Will be orderingHave ordered the WIFI adapter and getting the BB10 version.
I'm having a real issue even downloading the App from BB World...it just sits there and spins. I'm with Rogers wireless and have downloaded a pile of apps from BB World before as well as sideloaded and installed Android apps from .bar files. Am I just not being patient enough (my Playbook screen saver kicks in and I don't ever get the app!!)or is there something I'm missing here...lemme know and TIA for any/all help.
Playbook 64G
S/W version 2.1.0.1526
Never mind.....Ian at TorqueOBD2 sorted this out for me and everything is now up to par.
Thanks anyway though and keep those updates and leaks coming, me likey!!
Glad you got it downloaded in the end :)
The 10.2 BB OS update is looking 'imminent' and that should have the bluetooth support working for those of you waiting for it - in the meantime the wifi adapters work ok too
Hmm interesting
