The TPA.db. It lets you open the app but it’s empty. You have to grab quicktimes just through iOS in the Porsche precision folder.

Has anyone tried migrating from Android to IOS with this app? I can export tracks and recordings on Android, but importing on IOS I only get "Import failed; the file appears to be corrupted". I have latest Android version 4.09 (I think), but IOS is 4.1.2. The version mismatch may be the cause. But I wonder if this scenario was even contemplated?

Sorry, I can't help with anything IOS, but sure would like to know how you managed to export the files, to a PC I assume, can you watch them there?

Does this still require Nav upgrade? Seems like a waste if it's still a crash mess. Might as well get the Garmin or add a data logger to a dashcam.

100% Correct.

In TPA, I just exported tracks when viewing my custom tracks. In recordings, I export as TPARECORD. The moved the files from Android to IOS using DropBox... or you can copy to PC.

If you mean overlaying and exporting video,... well that is a chore in itself.

Hmmm, I am pretty sure that you don't need NAV to run the Track Precision App. OEM Navigation Retrofit DIY - Page 3 - Rennlist - Porsche Discussion Forums

One thing that I would add is that the TPA requires a GPS antenna from either the car, external or phone. I had TPA running with and without NAV but I had the GPS antenna already installed.

My ‘100% correct’ was for Track precision app garbage, get a Garmin catalyst.

I’ve also temporarily given up TPA until Porsche figures their stuff out. I’ve been using CircuitStorm successfully however they don’t have a VBO export option. I’m sure if enough of us bug them to get VBO export, they’ll eventually do it. A friend was able to convert my csv data to vbo to use in circuit tools but a native export would obviously be better.
The app only runs on android so I had to get a dedicated android phone for data, but as far as I know, it’s the only software that can connect to Porsche’s EXLAP data to get steering angle, throttle & brake pressure, etc.

You can see the export here:

A Rennlister has posted a way to get your own telemetry from EXLAP using their python script. It's in the Data Acquisition sub forum.

Porsche Track App is reliable now, I was able to use it to capture data without issues, which was a first for me compared to last season. I did upgrade the PCM software at the dealer during my oil change though, not sure if that is a factor for my 991.2.

Suggest trying it out this season, it might be better.

TPA had been reliable for the last few track days for me but I went out Thursday last week and it only captured 3/5 sessions. Crashed for the other 2. I’m pretty sure it lost my fastest lap in the process too. Still not as reliable as it should be.

So i attempted to setup the track precision app for a track day a few weeks ago. I was unable to pair the phone to the car for it to work. During the setup process it told me to connect to the cars Wifi. Now i didn't have that option however i keep seeing that you dont need NAV in order for it to work. However i was unable to get it to connect the way it wants. Anyone have any idea? Its not a huge deal as i bought a Garmin Catalyst, but i would like the option just in case i dont have the garmin with me.

In my experience it’s a waste of time trying to get it to work. Even if it seems to be working for a session it will still drop your data or fail some other way, distract you from your session, and leave you frustrated at the end. Catalyst or AIM is a much better and actually reliable solution.

TDT

Exactly this. It’s garbage.
