Hey guys,

I have searched around, but have not found any real answers. I recently purchased a MY04 Liberty GT Premium Pack (Series BL). I have installed my new Android head deck and it's running great. I had hoped that I could connect that to my OBD2 Bluetooth adapter to show gauges on screen while driving however I can't seem to get any reading from my Bluetooth adapter except for the Voltage which seems to be reading fine. This is the cheap micro-OBD2 adapter, but I have purchased the full version of Toque PRO on the Android store and it says it connects to the adapter fine and that the adapter is connected to the ECU. I have tried on my Android phone, head deack and my Nexus tablet with all the same results.

My question: Is this a problem with my adapter? Ie. Do I need to spend money on buying a better quality one and if so, can you recommend a better one?

Adapter I bought: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/190868683257

Thanks in advance for any replies.

First Subaru I've owned and I don't think I'll ever drive something else!

I've attached some pics:

Maybe the seller on ebay will exchange it, it's probably faulty.

I don't really mind the price. Just wanted to know if anyone had experience with these "Mini BT OBD2" adapters and if its just a case of "you need to buy a higher quality one" sort-of-thing.

Thanks for the quick reply though. I might just order a different one.

I have one of them,
it used to have issues on my samsung devices until the Android 4.2 update.
Always worked on my HTC and Nexus though.

Some owners with pre face lift who ran ecu datascanners never had any issues connecting .....but when they converted to torque / torque pro they could not properly connect any longer....using bluetooth ....I'm not sure if the wireless or mini-mirco USB one would have the same outcome? maybe try that...

dont know the details but I think its something along the lines with the protocol type? or something like that....especially when running with a elm327....there are many versions out there....some work ....some dont....

some people have had luck buying the more expensive elm327 with a specific version....but not everyone has had the same luck...

Might look into those Android head units, especially if you can get them to use steering wheel controls since missus Impreza has em.

Without doing too much googling, anyone here with a pre-FL GT use Torque regularly and also has a Tactrix cable?
I have a Tactrix 1.3 and like using it from time to time, but also have a Nexus 7 I'd windscreen/dash mount (I have satnav so no spare cubby), so using Torque as a dash display would be handy.
Just don't want to run into any issues before I spend $30 on Torque and an ELM327. I don't know what I'd do if my tactrix stopped working.

You can find extremely good quality Android stereo units now. They have full steering wheel controls, brake controls, climate controls etc..

I bought mine from http://www.ugsage.com/ , they offer a 1 year warranty and the quality of the unit is excellent. I installed mine myself and it has come up an absolute treat. I would highly suggest an Android stereo unit (Double DIN) to anyone looking to upgrade. I've got a 4G dongle connected to my unit so I can stream my iTunes or Google Play music.

You can also search http://www.aliexpress.com/ for Android stereo units.

Late reply, but u just got an OBD2 reader (wifi) for my Gen 4 Legacy GTB (NZ model) and all I can read is the voltage, too. It might be a different implementation of OBD?

Same hardware and software shows a lot more info on my E91 BMW so I don't think that it's faulty.

I was under the impression that all 2.0GT's wont work with ELM327 OBDII adapters

Thats why there is BTSSM for logging and displaying ECU info

Maybe you could run this app off your headunit

pre-facelift legacy does not have ODBII Instrumentation.
