    A slight detour of this thread please.
    When I try to look at the live data for "Vehicle battery current", "Vehicle battery state of charge - Estimated", "Alternator current" or "Vehicle battery voltage", I get "N/A" for all of them. Other live data eg Engine RPM, works ok.
    It may be relevant that I recently had to disconnect the main battery, although I remember trying to get those values before without success.

    Another side note. The Traxide system saved me from some hassle over the weekend. The main battery in my D4 appears to have mostly died and wouldn't start the car. I was able to simply connect a jumper lead from the Optima + terminal to the main battery + terminal and get it started. Much better than a long wait in the "wilds" near Goulburn for a roadside assist jump start. Thanks Tim!

    You need to request full Live Value access from Gap directly via email.
    They only provide access to a subset that they have tested themselves initially.

    Do you need to disconnect or change any of the standard setup of cables for this, eg remove positive between aux and Traxide isolator?
