No speed with obdII on a engine swaped car

Post by Bryant »

I used a OBDII dongle today for the first time on a 69 camaro with a LS7 swapped in it. I dont get any speed display in the recordings. I assume this is because the wiring in this swap doesn't have a speed input to the computer. I would prefer the accuracy of the GPS speed over the transmission speed output. Is there a setting that I can change to get the speed displayed?
Heres a video from today

When generating the overlay, please swipe to the second page in "Overlay Configuration" (the dialog allowing you to extend the laps range exported). The second page includes a switch to force the use of GPS speed in overlays.
