As I've read through this thread a few times now and know I've asked some repetitive questions. Maybe a note could be put at beginning for people to actually take notes for pages containing info on certain subjects. Just a thought, as I am about to ask if octane learned is for the fuel mixers?
Yes, I have been at 100 since I activated the gauge. I would hope so since I'm probably over 99 octane.

So I could actually use it to check my octane? 93 = 93%

No, I think 93 would be 100 on the indicator.

I've also considered that gauge only changes with octane changes hence the "learned".

Not entirely sure though.....

I am used to the octane indicator sitting pretty static at 100% all the time. Today it showed me a new trick I don't understand. I got on the interstate, an set up cruise at 72 MPH. I looked over at my gauge display when I could and noticed a reading of 107%. It stayed there till I took my exit and next time I could look it was back to 100% again. On the reverse leg of the ride, I looked for a similar reading...nope it stayed at 100% all the way home. Guess I haven't figured out what it's telling me as yet. Any suggestions?

Interesting. I swear mine went 102% right after a fill up but then it was zero the next time I looked...maybe the car is testing it somehow?

I also updated the 1st post quite a bit. I did a cut and paste on some of the info and included page numbers for relevant PID discussions. If you get a chance to look I'm open to feedback on how to improve it!

BTW I forgot to mention that I was at a half tank and had not added fuel recently. We really don't have all the answers on this PID do we?

Won't be able to look until later (busy peeling crap vinyl job from tails...plasti-dip time), but I imagine it will be spot on adding to the holiness of the grail as it be...lol

Liking the update!!! If I can get done with the few projects around here a nice add might be normal operating conditions, and an above normal or danger range for commonly tracked temps, etc.

Thanks again ;)

That's odd. I leave mine in all the time and have never seen that happen.

Wonder if it's because of other Bluetooth devices being in same area when the tablet isnt?

That's happened to me also. Only when Torque is already running and the dongle is plugged in at startup. If you shut off Torque on your device it shouldn't happen.

Once at the track it nearly gave me a heart attack, I started the car and all kinds of errors came up. Including low oil pressure lol.
