I feel for Hamish, no matter what he comes up with someone wants more.
But I suppose that's what drives tech advances.

There is a "Trigger Image" function which will display a image on screen when a condition is met.
[Boost]>28 or [Knock]>10 etc you could have and image flash on the screen as a warning but it disappears again as soon as the condition is false. There doesn't seem to be anyway of controlling how long it stays on screen. Useful if you want to be told you are traveling above a certain speed but not so much for things like knock unless you are constantly looking at the display. That is where the audio alerts are very useful.

All gauges have a numerical peak display which will hold the max (or minimum, you choose) of that particular gauge. So if you have a massive knock episode you will see it.
There are bar gauges which are pretty cool and give you a good visualization of what's going on.

Personally I like big digital read outs, you can see exactly what's going on - just not very cool looking.

But you need to be part of a group and despite logging a ticket I am still not able to access it...

This is not important to me but I still need the cable pinout diagram (that is important)

He wants to know if that last item occurs.

yeah. this.
so does it do this?

In the Apps look for GPS setting icon, when you click on it a list will pop up with 2 sections, primary programs and secondary programs. In the secondary programs list look for Google maps. Check the box on the right and close. Now when you touch the GPS navigation (the big square with the sat image) it will open Google maps. Using directions will get you to Google navigation.

I use the GPS w/no Wi-Fi.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, after doing all that and clicking on the GPS navigation, it tries to open and has a little box that says "loading" and never fully starts.

What do you mean by your last sentence? Is that a different program?

Man....I must be one of the only people in this country with navigation in my car and it is kiiiilllling me. You try driving around any Japanese city without one...makes you go crazy.

Thanks for offering to help though. In addition, it would be nice to hear from Hamish....

Hamish, any news on this?

I really need to be able to hook up external sensors and also get it to turn off with the ignition...

Cheers

Just a little confused newb question....
On the old evoscan cables my shop uses it would plug into both the obd2 ports one piggy backs into the other with an audio jack looking like cable then from there both go to the USB.
Does the 1.3DA cable do the job of both or do I need to order another part?

The cable can be wired to a switched live but no-one is sure which terminal to use

It works really well - just a few things to iron out...
