Android showing different temperature

Post by Vitesse203 »

Hi Android phone and tablet show a different MAT and Coolant temperature on Shadow Dash to my laptop using Tuner Studio. I've used easy therm to update the MS1 which is running the extra code 029y4, and everything else runs ok. Fan switches on at 84°. Idle valve shuts of at 65°, but Android devises show higher temperature when cold by 10° and less when warm. Any ideas?

Regards

It sounds like it has the wrong INC files for the temperature.

Sorted it. I had to change the INC files on phone and tablet by connecting them to the computer and copying over Easy Therm INC files.

Studying it closer it also seems that rev counter is out by a few hundred rpm and it also loads up gauges that I don't need. Have tried saving revised gauge layout with spark advance and duty cycle gauges changed but it always reverts back to original even when loaded with the ' saved configuration' - baffled - Paul

The 4th dash always loads with the default dash for your firmware, only the 1st 3 save changes to your dash.
