# Quick Start Guide

## Use A0 with Torque

{% hint style="info" %}
The process of connecting A0 with non-Torque apps should be fairly similar to the the one shown below.
{% endhint %}

#### Connect via Bluetooth

Using your phone's Bluetooth settings, connect to ELM327-A0.

#### Done!

After this point consult the [**Torque Wiki**](https://torque-bhp.com/wiki/Main_Page) to learn how to use Torque.

## Use A0 with SavvyCAN

A0RET allows A0 to work with SavvyCAN via Wi-Fi, no wires needed!

#### Download SavvyCAN

At this point, plug A0 into the car. Then, from the computer running SavvyCAN, connect to its Wi-Fi network. The defaults are:

**SSID:** A0RETSSID

**Password:** aBigSecret

{% hint style="info" %}
The default SSID and Password can be changed through the system menu as described in "Firmware Reference" section.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

Click "Add New Device Connection" and select "Network Connection"; the IP address should pre-populate since we have already connected to A0's network.

You should now start seeing CAN traffic in the main window of SavvyCAN.&#x20;

The A0-specific steps have now all been completed and you have free reign in the huge playground that is SavvyCAN, visit their extensive documentation below:
