OBDII Data

Help on issues you run into with LapTimer; in case you have a question on how to use LapTimer, use the forum "Using LapTimer" instead

LapTimer ‣ Analysis ‣ Realtime ‣ Engine is exclusive to LapTimer Grandprix and not included in Petrolhead. Two options:

#1 upgrade to GrandPrix from LapTimer ‣ Administration ‣ Add-ons ‣ GrandPrix Upgrade
#2 use the limited set of engine data shown in LapTimer ‣ Analysis ‣ Realtime ‣ GPS

On #2: once you connect an OBD adapter in an app edition not supporting Engine View, the GPS View will change and show a limited set of value in the bottom row. Tap the right most gadget to flip through channels available.

Any idea why I can't see oil temperature? I can see all the other live data, except oil temp. I'm using TONWON BTLE with GP Edition with a Porsche Cayman 987.2.

Hi, that´s quite normal on "VW" cars. Not every car can provide oil temp via OBD dongle, even if you can see temp via VCDS software or on dashboard etc.

I tried it several times on different cars. Without success (Toyota Yaris 2016, Skoda Octavia RS 2010, Skoda Fabia 2018 and Leon Cupra 2016)

Or you can try to set Custom PID in the app, then, maybe it will work.

Here is the list of PIDs
