I made the change on my car with OBD11.

the SMS feature from what I understand will allow to read text messages on the MMI while driving but you need have your phone and MMI setup to share text over Bluetooth. I posted a video on how to do that maybe a page or two earlier in the thread. As far as how while it works, I can't say because I have yet to receive a text while driving. If you chose to run the VIM/SMS app it will require another 100 credits or whatever it cost. I found out by running the app twice on accident.

I haven't had a chance to try it. Are you able to both lock and unlock the vehicle while it's running? I thought I saw someone saying that they could lock it but had to use the key to unlock it. That would be too cumbersome.

Thanks.

Yes you can, but what I meant by unlocking with the key is you can't use the advanced key access ( just pulling the door handle with the key in your pocket), you have to press the unlock button on the fob - not the physical key though, that would be too painful!

That's great news! Thanks for the clarification.

Can some provide me with OBDeleven instructions for the lap timer?

I found the VSDS coding:

Module 17 (Instruments)
Coding
Long Coding
Long Coding Helper
Byte 1 (Second from left)
Tick/Select "Bit 3"
Exit
Do It

I get to coding and don't see any long coding.

Thanks!

You need to hit the 0|1 in the top right I think to switch.

If you search my posts there's a link to instructions I put together with screenshots.

Has anyone else gotten this error? When I try to access Central Electrics, I get, " Description Data Not Found" . Any thoughts?

Yes. Search on that phrase in the search box, and you'll find many references.

I got to long coding and see the 0/1 you were referring to but it's unclear from there what to do. I did a search for your name and lap timer and got zero results. Then went through the list of all your posts and looked at the ones that seemed to be obd11 related to no avail.






Anyway, the number of apps available has really recently grown from the 2 originals and now include the lap timer for 10 credits. I've found that starting the app gives one free credit and you can earn 5 free ones a day by looking at ads. What's nice though is all you have to do is start the ad and you can immediately hit the back button to receive each one. The credits don't cost all that much but I don't mind spending a few minutes each day to build up enough 'free' ones. I'm about 4 days from activating VIM. Then onto the lap timer (2 days/10 total minutes) unless I can find more detail.
