Question I was anyone had any luck with OBDII Dongles?

I bought an Autel HT200 and I've seen people use it for the gauges but for some reason I can't find them with the HT200 App or the AP200 app though they are the same product but use 2 different apps. I was wondering if this one would work with other apps like torque app? Maybe I could just be doing something wrong with it. I just want to be able to have actual temps for engine coolant, oil pressure, etc so I don't have to go buy the stupid lights and it would be easier to figure something out if it went wonky! Please and Thank You!

I have two cheap ELM327-based bluetooth adapters that I brought ages ago (2011) on eBay for 15USD. They work like a charn with Torque.

I just played with it some more in my garage and it does have Engine Coolant Temperature it is just listed abbreviated with ECT instead which makes me a lot happier with it now!

A lot of the stuff I found out is listed differently through OBDII then you would think which is kind of confusing though does not list oil pressure. But I will tell you some of what is listed and the abbreviations:
Like Long Term Fuel Trim and Short Term Fuel Trim are listed as AF FB AVE (LT fuel trim), AF FB (ST fuel trim),
Engine Coolant Temperature is Listed as ECT Sensor
RPM is Listed as Engine Speed, and I have an attachment of all of the stuff it lists on PDF too at least under Live Data that I have found so far! So hopefully it'll help other people who are trying to find it with this specific OBDII reader or others because I do not know whether other ones list it differently or not!

I use torque pro. It's well worth the $8 upgrade or whatever it was over the free version.. With the pro version you can customize what gauges you want to display realtime info. Basically, if the car monitors it for engine management then you can pull up that gauge using torque
