I would also really like to know this, I have a 2005 Mk1 Cupra TDi, would an elm327 bluetooth interface work?
If it's paired with the Torque app I believe it will
I'll try it myself soon and if it doesn't it's only 10 quid wasted

I have it and the torque pro app, it does loads will read boost maf a/f revs speed fuel pressure voltage O2 reading and VloltGe intake temp coolant temps, and it can read most codes and clear them not bad for a tenner that the app and dongle
Yes it works with Torque. You can check a lot of info with it (even clear errors). Mine doesnt work anymore due to applied ECU security by the tuning company
Gotta make sure your car is OBD2 compatible though, some early Leons, like mine, aren't compatible!

Is yours pre 2001 though? I thought it became compulsory for all cars after 2001 to have it?
So's mine although I believe mine's compatible
Seat are strange though lol
Edit have you tried a normal scanner on the car to see if it'll connect as I'm sure I've read that Seat changed it in 2000 onwards for their Vag Com?

i use elm327 with a few different programs and works pretty good. i only paid £3 for mine off ebay
Thanks for all the replies, I have bought an elm327 off ebay for about £6 i plug it in and have tried to pair it with my laptop and 2 different android phones and nothing happens...
once plugged in you have to pair with bluetooth first then once paired think the code is 0000 then should be able to use torque.
you have to unplug it sometimes and try again then search in the Bluetooth settings on phone it will Come up as odb11 just pair it from there then open up torque set up the car profile for it to work properly if you want the fuel and mpg stuff to work but other than that it's possible easy

Seems to be an issue with the bluetooth as there is nothing to pair with, the device isn't detected
From what I've read so far, these Bluetooth adapters don't have adaptation capability and can only be used to read OBDII to give readings as mentioned above.
Have you got your ignition turned on and is there flashing lights on the elm327? You might have a duff elm327.
