## Description

Widgets for Torque lets you display live OBD2 vehicle engine data from the Torque Pro app right on your Android homescreen. Monitor essential engine metrics such as coolant temperature, RPM, transmission temperature, fuel consumption, horsepower, and torque with easy-to-use customizable widgets. The extension supports phones and tablets, automatically starting Torque in the background to collect vehicle data as you drive. Additional widgets include a trip fuel cost tracker and an on/off toggle to control widget updates and Torque startup, offering power-efficient monitoring of your car's engine management system.

Please note that widget update speed may vary depending on your launcher app, with the default Android launcher providing the best performance. Some features depend on your vehicle's capabilities. This tool is perfect for car enthusiasts and drivers who want quick access to real-time OBD2 data for efficient and informed vehicle monitoring.
