Does anyone know in what price range the external lap trigger is?
The lap trigger available through Porsche Tequipment allows even more precise measurement of the lap times. This can be positioned next to the start and finish line on the circuit and automatically measures and transmits the lap times.

I actually like that the cam is used on Smartphone rather than integrated cam in the car, because over time smartphone cams get better and constantly being upgraded as a pose to having a cam permanent on the rear view mirror that can't be upgraded easily.
Edit: Also iPhone 6 plus now has optical image stabilization, rock on!

IMO, no. The video quality from a gopro is much better. This is why I hope the data can be exported so I can overlay onto my gopro video. Not a fan of phone video, but that is me

I'm getting this option. It's a must for me.
I don't mind it not having an integrated camera. Cameras evolve all the time and the quality keeps getting better, so I don't want to be stuck with a ****ty camera.
I wish it had a wifi trigger like BMW's so that I could trigger my GoPro on/off, but it's not a big deal.
What I do hope is what orthojoe said, I would love to have exportable data so that I can overlay on GoPro videos (with RaceRender).

Again, that's IF the Porsche system is like Harry's.

If the Porsche system is like Harry's it would be buggy and would miss triggers and not take vids of certain laps, etc.
I used Harry's for some time with the external GPS and OBD2 dongle. It was so buggy. That's why I switched to the AIM Solo DL which was always consistent and way closer to the transponder times than Harry's. I love Harry's external triggers and ease of use, but I hate its unreliability.

I use dash ware and track vision. I think dash ware is easier to use, but track vision has nicer looking gauges. People with macs use race render because they have a native Mac version. I think race render gauges look horrible
#27
yes, you are correct, I didn't like having to go into Windows to do the overlay (although I still had to in order to extract the data from the AIM since the AIM software was Windows only).
Race Render isn't too bad:

Anybody get their 2015 with Sport Chrono yet?
#29
Sorry if a repost, but as per Macca's PH post:
"Porsche Track App is available free on the iPhone App store.... "
Anyone with a 2015 and sport chrono try this out yet?
BTW, it mentions you need the lap trigger preparation for full functionality. Any comments on how useful this is?

One other thing to point out, the App states very clear that the sports chrono except for the clock only works on a race track. So if you want to use this for street purposes it won't work.
Thus if you think you will not track this car you will be paying for a very high priced clock. I may change my order to remove the clock.
