Which one?
It's called AVN and I am here in the Philippines. But I would think any aftermarket android head unit will allow to be loaded.

There is an app called OBD2AA that is an add on to Torque Pro that will display Torque Pro on your Sync screen. It is not a regular app in that you have to run your phone in developer mode and down load it from the link below. Setting up the gauges to display is cumbersome, the app is slow to load but once you have it up and running it is as accurate as Torque Pro. I used it on my 17 Mustang on occasion. When I got the Ranger I decided to install actual gauges for the things I want to monitor all the time and just use Torque Pro on the phone to check things since I don't use AA on a regular basis.

Can you verify that this still works? I used this a couple years ago and updates to AA caused it to stop working.

The author got involved with the wirelessAA project and did not keep the app updated. It worked good when it did work.

No I can't. I haven't tried to use it since early 21.

Sound about right for when it stopped working. Mid 21 after our trip out west.

Well as others have said OBD2AA was the app in the past until Emil went off to pursue the success of AA Wireless.
It look like someone picked that up in a new app called AA Torque.
Not a lot of discussion or help available but it works. But I am on Day 1. Will report back as I play with it in the coming weeks

Ok after a couple of days some thoughts. Easier to use, but less usr customizable, than the old OBD2AA. You need to set something up to trigger the launch of TorquePro when you are using this app in car. It needs TorquePro running as TorquePro is basically the data conduit from the OBD and defginces the PIDs. I used a mode(Android) to get TorquePro to start when I connect to my Ranger. And trying to figure out if I can stop TorquePro after leaving the car with a routine. Anyway pic below. Wish I could find the PID for gear position for our Rangers, would be great to have that in the lower right spot between the gauges.

While I really want the feature of OBD2AA back, not sure I want to deal with a hassle to get AA Torque working, only for it to become a game of whack-a-mole with ever Android or AA update breaking it until a fix is found.
