Live Data

Following everything the car is reporting right now, in three layouts.

Live Data shows the readings arriving from the ECU while you drive. The screen only opens with the adapter connected and the ECU answering.

There are three layout tabs: List, Individual and Integrated.

  1. Connect first

    The screen depends on the ECU answering. With no connection the app says so and does not open, because there would be no reading to show.

  2. Choose the layout

    List shows every reading as text, and is the best one for going through many sensors at once. Individual shows one sensor at a time, in large type. Integrated gathers several into a single frame.

  3. Group them the way you need

    In Group sensors, choose By category to gather the readings by subject, such as engine, fuel and temperature, or By profile to separate them by the profile each one came from.

    Grouping by profile makes it easy to spot what came from the manufacturer's advanced profile, which appears with the Advanced tag.

  4. Choose what appears

    On the Individual and Integrated tabs, set which sensors take each position and confirm with Save Settings.

  5. Shorten the list, if it is slow

    Every active sensor is one more question on the same bus. If the readings are slow to change, turn off individual sensors on the Supported sensors screen, where every reading has a switch of its own, and turn off the user profiles you are not following in Sensor Profiles.


If something goes wrong

Live Data depends on the ECU answering at the moment you look. Connect the adapter with the ignition on, through the Connection screen, and come back to this screen.

The most common cause is too many active sensors. A set of six sensors updates each one far more often than a set of forty.

Turn off the readings you do not use in Supported sensors and, on the adapter page, turn on Group sensor requests, which asks for several sensors in one request.

Editing those two tabs is a paid plan feature. The List tab stays available and shows everything the car is reporting.

It may belong to a profile that is not installed yet. Open Sensor Profiles, the Advanced tab, and install the manufacturer's profile matching your model. If there is no profile for it, use sensor discovery.
