Cool! How does it read that? Is there a dongle that plugs into the OBD II port?
Thanks. I checked and it isn't available for iOS...Yes it needs a ELM dongle.I used generic elm327 bluetooth adapter from ebay.

Did you find your CJAA engine in the engine list inside settings?Did you get this to work on a cjaa engine? I can't get it to work and am trying to figure out if it's my cheap Bluetooth adapter or some configuration thing on my part. Thanks, John
No CJAA in the list of tested engines. I'll give it another go today to see if any of the engine groups work for it but it also says that some cheapo bluetooth units won't work.Did you find your CJAA engine in the engine list inside settings?
You can also try selecting every engine group available.Also make sure that you keep your ignition on while connecting.
No dice - no CRKA in the list of pretested engines (or supported engines).When I used torque with custom PIDs, the PIDs were the same for the CRKA engine of the passat as the CJAA engine, maybe try the CRKA. I haven't checked all the PIDs on the Gen 3 engine as the wife thinks it stupid waste of of my time to monitor the car on long trips. I think it's because it'd distract her from critiquing my driving.
FWIW, when I got my GSW with the Gen3, I see that Torque Pro seems to read the same PIDs as it had on my CJAA. I also got yelled at a road trip this summer by the wife, they cannot seem to understand our need to be connected to our cars I suppose. Once setup (before the drive begins) it is no different than looking at the radio settings or other gauges in the car, I tell her.When I used torque with custom PIDs, the PIDs were the same for the CRKA engine of the passat as the CJAA engine, maybe try the CRKA.

I use Torque Pro with custom PIDs found on another forum post. Do you know if there is an updated to the custom PIDs that give the detailed DPF info presented by VAG DPF?When I used torque with custom PIDs, the PIDs were the same for the CRKA engine of the passat as the CJAA engine, maybe try the CRKA.

I believe the car will take care of keeping the levels "safe", we just happen to get to watch it while it's doing it. Personally, I won't shut the car down if a regen hasn't completed and temps are back to normal. Maybe a little extreme but I see no reason NOT to if I have the time and awareness of what's going on. I might be alone in this madness though....Can someone explain the different measurements and what would be the safe ranges? Sorry new to this all, but want to get some kind of understanding.
Have you tried changing the update speed in the DPF app settings?Edit: it just started working again. I was trying to get it to connect at idle, but apparently it is easier to connect with the car moving. Strange.
very weird, it just stopped working.
connects to bluetooth dongle, but when it tries to connect to OBD the symbols briefly go red and then goes back to just the bluetooth symbol being lit.
already tried uninstalling/reinstalling, cycling power on the phone, cycling bluetooth off/on and the obvious stuff
torque app works fine. so bluetooth is connecting ok.
I'll have to investigate this some more.
Is there any issues if you do turn your car off in the middle of regen?I believe the car will take care of keeping the levels "safe", we just happen to get to watch it while it's doing it.

They are designed to work around it so they dont need a regen light on the dash or anything so no it shouldnt hurt anything. I just prefer to not shut it off when the DPF is at 600C so I usually let it idle until complete.Is there any issues if you do turn your car off in the middle of regen?

I'd like to find the custom PIDs for regen duration, distance/time since regen, post injection, etc. if they are available.
Thanks,

Should be nothing bad, but most folks like to avoid it...Is there any issues if you do turn your car off in the middle of regen?
On my '09, before emissions tune, I had the monitor set on 900F to show me the regen was happening at highway revs. I saw it hit 1200F once and that seemed too much, so I turned into a pull off and shut it down. On restart, it was done with regen. I have no idea how the newer ones, and especially the new tune, modifies those parameters. I doubt VW would let you know.Can someone explain the different measurements and what would be the safe ranges? Sorry new to this all, but want to get some kind of understanding.

If you do interrupt it, the cooling fan will run on high a bit after shutdown.
Since we now have (in the USA) a 11 year 162,000 mile warranty in most cases, I would worry even less about the DPF cracking due to the thermal stress of an interrupt regen.
Well, glad to see I'm not alone on this one. I think the TDI crowd are, in general, more "in tune" with their vehicles. I know they are supposed to work around the mid regen shut down but I really dislike stepping out of the car, fans running like it's an airplane about to take off and car smelling like a bonfire.On my '09, before emissions tune, I had the monitor set on 900F to show me the regen was happening at highway revs. I saw it hit 1200F once and that seemed too much, so I turned into a pull off and shut it down.
