  • Im not finding how to update BT in Factory Settings.  I downloaded the .bin file, but not seeing search function. 


  • @Brent Rivers Please download the BT update file, and then copy to a USB, then go to Settings > Factory Settings > enter password "hctbtup", it will start updating the BT, you could see the update status.


  • @Brent Rivers Hi there, make sure that your head unit is G12.


  • @Support Dasaita yes I have the G12 headunit.  It can see the OBDii, but will not connect.  I can use on my phone but bluetooth on the G12 will not connect to the OBD2 device.  It must connect before Torque can pull up in the list.
