Default GT4 Track Precision and Sport Chrono retrofit

I removed Sport Chrono from my build when I learned it didn't do anything special in the GT4 unless you had the nav option ticked as well. I kind of wanted to Track Prescision app, but it's general unreliability made me skip the nav and chrono upcharges.

I have now learned that you can turn on the nav via some Linux hacking. Since I don't have the chrono either, would I be out of luck in getting the app to work?

No idea, but the app reliability is truly awful so I wouldn’t recommend spending any time or energy on it.

or the C7 or Gen6 Camaro. I had the Performance Data Recorder in my 2015 Z06 and it worked perfectly every time. I’m really quite surprised Porsche is so far behind on the tech side.

Track precision requires sport chrono and Porsche Connect


when you purchase the Nav option it also includes Porsche Connect (hardware)

Just doing the software Nav enable does not add the Porsche Connect hardware to your car
