OPL Monitor

Hey all! Can confirm this app works on an 18 Red needle GS. I have not switched themes, but I have messed with most of the settings and checked the functionality of most of the pages. There are a few that dont work at all, most specifically the Drive Summery page's, this shows after you turn the car off and is supposed to tell you the fuel used and milage of from your drive, there is also an info page for this that does not work. However most of them do! Can confirm the Speed Limit sign can be enabled, it must pull from GPS, the map software in my car has not been updated, and noticed some parts of roads have the wrong speed limit from many years ago.. otherwise though, it worked great. I love having the performance pages! I can try to check certain things if anyone has any questions. I want to try getting the Opel Camera module and see if will recognize speed limit signs... but thats a future project.

This app is everything i've wanted.. and more!
 
Installed the app and connected to the car.

Should I be worried about the two DTC?
For record I did have a Engine Power Reduced a while ago and had it diagnosed at the dealer.
This has not returned. I'm still under Bumper to Bumper.

Is the speed limit sign notation on all the time or just when navigation is active?
 
All of the time which is cool! (at least IMO)

Hope that helps!
Awesome! Does it show on the instrument cluster only… or in the HUD too? (Red needle car here as well!)

Sorry for just now replying, it only displays on the dash, not the hud.

My new 23 Canyon has the speed sign in the hud and it’s definitely a helpful feature!

It definitely would be cool if there were more options for the hud, that would be sick!
 
Which device works with our 3.6?
OBD? I got the vLinker MC+. Expensive (at 60 bucks) but I figured it would be nice to have an obd device that worked with my iPhone and my Android phone.

According to the OPL monitor documentation, it’s the one you should use for the programming as it’s tested and reliable.

If enabled… Do the speed signs show in the HUD?
 
Does the start up screen flow to the head unit when the instrument cluster theme is changed? Or does it stay on Buick?
 
I've been messing with the themes, and aside from.a font change for each one, I still have the Buick logo on both screens on startup.
Am I doing something wrong?

Gotcha… I was hoping the whole sequence changed with each theme 😕

I checked with the developer… only changes the instrument cluster… not the radio/nav screen… 🫠

I wonder if anybody had good luck with updating the splash screen on the radio/nav screen to Opel?

The developer said that these extra features work only with compatible adapters like Vgate vLinker mc

I have the VlinkerMC+ and have yet to be able to make any changes to the main screen.
And yes, I paid for the subscription. the main screen.

I tried paying for the sub yesterday but received a server error. I've got the MX+ which is compatible with almost everything. Just waiting to hear back from him
