Torque Pro
King Charles,
Not sure this is the appropriate thread, we might consider to start a separate thread for this.
Regarding Torque Pro, there are many many options and variations, and the best thing is just to play around with it offline and online, just to learn the functioning of all buttons, gauges, options, etc.
It is not the easiest of programs to handle, so try to figure out how to save your work, just in case .
Below are just some guidelines to get you started, but it is only the way I did it, you might end up with something completely different.
THEMES:
1. In the opening screen (rotating menu), click on the left bottom MENU, then SETTINGS, then CHOOSE A THEME, you will get a list of options of gauge designs.
Some are only gauges, others come with a fixed background.
I used BLUE PLASMA to be the closest to the Jaguar gauges.
2. Click one back, then CHOOSE BACKGROUND IMAGE.
You can use any image from your phone directory to set, just click on it, then return to the opening screen.
I enclose the JPEG of the Walnut Burl I use.
GAUGES:
From the opening screen, click on REALTIME INFORMATION, and you should see the blue plasma gauges on your own background.
If not, you did something wrong .
LAYOUTS:
You can select up to 15 pages to fill with gauges and other info, but you can reduce the number of pages in SETTINGS if you do not need so much.
Adding gauges is just pushing the blank background on the desired page, a menu will show up.
It is really a trial and error process to set this up, lining up everything properly took me the most time.
But by trying you will slowly get an idea 'what's where'.
The active info for each gauge differs with the brand and type of a car, so you will need to check with Torque connected.
If you add gauges, the active ones will show up in green (might take a bit).
Once you selected a gauge, you can further detail it by pushing it a bit, then follow the various menu's.
I enclose some of my pages directly related to my x308 as a reference.
They are off-line screenshots, so some info is missing.
Finally, you can save your layout (keep saving in the process!) by clicking OPTIONS, then LAYOUT SETTINGS, then EXPORT LAYOUT and give it a name and a version number.
You can import your latest work from here by clicking IMPORT LAYOUT.
Sure more questions will follow, feel free to ask as ever!

I am trying to use Torque on my '01 XJR. The OBDII adapter I purchased is unable to establish communications with the ECM. It tries all the protocols it knows and then gives an error.
Can you tell me which of the protocols the adapter that you are using, uses to establish communication with the ECM? Hopefully that is recorded or displayed by your install of Torque.
Thanks.

I guess it is a bit trial and error, but it might solve your problem.
Mine selected automatically as stated by King Charles, but I had a period it messed up with the Parrot Bluetooth (my fault of course).
