Can't select vehicles

Hi when I try to find a new car by searching for "Porsche" the list ends at Mini and the autocomplete doesn't match what I've typed. I do have a Mini defined if that matters. I'm trying to add the Porsche Cayman S I just bought and don't want to manually enter every field. It's been a while but if I recall correctly if I select the car from the autocompletes LapTimer will fill in most of the fields for me other than the gear ratios. Cheers!
I'm using version 22.0.4.

LapTimer’s own vehicle database is incomplete. As long as you do not use OBD, there is no need to enter data beyond the 5 or 6 fields in Vehicle Search. Just enter these fields and press New. Actually there is a description in this dialog saying exactly this.

When you say OBD do you mean something like a Kiwi 2? That's what I used with my previous car. I see the text you mentioned on the screen that has options for Make, Model, Year etc. I guess I'm surprised not a single Porsche is listed when the Make screen says, "Make of vehicle, e.g. 'Porsche' or 'Ford'". It's literally the first make listed in the app text
Have you considered adding a share feature so users can contribute to your database?

Oh I didn't know I could share profiles. That's great. How do I share mine, do I send it to your support email address?

Once your vehicle is fully defined, you will be prompted to submit your definition.
