OPL Monitor

I will reach the developer once again. Based on my VIN boot logo should be updateable from the app, I have also Vgate vLinker MC.
"It should work with app using vLinker MC Bluetooth or vLinker MC+ and check extra functions. "

Where did you see this screen? I ended up buying the app and was able to add the G Force, Oil PSI, Transmission temp, etc but didn't see this
 
I don't suppose anyone has tried this on other variants? In NZ we have the VXR which is your GS but then we have RS-V which use the same engine and lesser specs but still V6 and AWD with the same gauge cluster. Sold my old VXR and getting the model below soon and got curious.
 
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.
You pay for the 'subscription' through the app, right?
Does that add permanent functionality to the app (Android) you have installed?
At OPLmonitor, it reads, "This feature requires an additional fee" - do you select from a choice of options & pay the applicable fee for a certain set of options?
I guess i don't know the difference between a 'fee' & a 'subscription', so do you have to pay regularly to keep this app working with the extra functions?
🤔

If I needed to unlock something I paid one time, programmed the cluster.

I believe the subscription is if you have the GS cluster and want to change themes...
 
I'd mostly be looking for oil temp/pressure, trans temp, boost, tire temp...
mechanical readings & i'd really like to see real time engine temp readings, though i don't see reference to that anywhere.
If those all come with the original downloaded app i'd be most interested & willing to shell out $50 for the MC+

Thanks!
 
In one view I can see
engine oil temperature
engine oil pressure
boost ( 0%)

on seperate screens I can see
engine oil temperature
transmission fluid temperature
coolant temperature
maintenance interval (in miles)
tire pressure (4 tires)
trip meter with MPG

and others

I like the look of the red needle gauges as it is (except for the icons and same for the radio), and would rate this as a fantastic mod. Alternative to swapping for the GS cluster and programming.

and are those part of the 'extra features' package, or would they be available with the original installed APK without a subscription?

as stated, if I needed to pay a fee to unlock it was a one time fee.
 
I bought the subscription & upgraded to unlock the extra gauges on my 2018 red needle Tourx. I've unlocked a bunch of the mileage and other functions that I really don't need. The main ones I wanted were water temp, oil pressure/temp, trans temp, etc. I turned them on in the app. But they do not show up on the dash. I contacted the developer and as far as I can tell never got a response. Anyone have any ideas why they may not be showing on the dash? Is there a number of screens that can be shown? Do I need to delete some of the other functions to free up space for the "gauges"?

Do you have the GS cluster or the non GS cluster with engine coolant temp and fuel gauges above the DIC?

If it's the non GS cluster then go through the menus and select which gauges you want displayed.
(can't help you on the GS as I do not have this)

You can find your "number of screens" in the options menu.
