   This morning i had a bluetooth obd2 adapter arrive for the torque app. The device will connect but says failed to connect to ecu... has anyone used one of these and found a solution to this? Ive checked all settings and they seem ok...
   
   Cheers

   Before 2001 the protocol is lexia,whilst the plug physically fits it won't communicate.

    Hi mate, using same adaptor, no problems here.
    
    Saxo 1.1 02 Plate.
    
    Simply plug into Passenger well plug, turn key, start Torque, connect to ECU, start car, stats appear.
    
    Thought this was standard OBD2 Protocol from 01 onwards?
