On this, we can't control the exhaust on Track mode. The controller overrides everything we can do on this. We have to comply with "Track Mode Exhaust" in Track mode

ktoonsez, any chance you can post up a photos of the 3 fields in Track mode? I think the ability to see oil temp, water temp, and KR (or another variable) on track might persuade me to buy one.

Nothing to do with track mode but I can grab a picture of 3 fields on the screen at once if that is what you are looking for?

Doesn't bother me at all, its actually nicer having this stick out than my ODBII cable for HPTuners.

Here is a cool little cable that is compact

Sorry i am confusing you, nothing to do with the car modes. They show up when you select the Navigation option on the DIC, that is the only constraint.

Did some more playing around and realized, duuuuhhhh, lower case letters will take up less room and get more PIDs. In the picture below I am able to put all 4 temps I want all the time: Coolant, Intake, Oil, and transmission!

Yes, this will come in very handy at the track this weekend. Just hope they can find the issue in the Z06 with "quiet mode" before the weekend

I do not want to hijack this thread, but need to ask how this compares to PLX Kiwi II and dashcommand app?


I've been running the PLX and Dashcommand APP on Lenovo Tablet, very impressed with the IAT, LAMBDA, AFR, BOOST PIDs readings.

The cost of the PLX Kiwi II, App and Tablet is less than $180 bucks and able run other apps like WAZE on split screen

May have missed it, but can you feed this input from a WBO2 sensor instead of using the gauge the wideband came with? Thinking for an AEM WB.....

Yes, you can do that as long as your wideband has a 5v output wire.

I could not possibly read all that info in a quick glance
Can it be set up to have each of those go red and/or ring chimes at a set level?
