But then I would want to paint it, so that’s another ~$500...
I have yet to get it to work on my T ... it is truly horrible technology.

Good to know, thank you. Oddly, the app has great reviews on iTunes.

Sounds like another Sport Chrono function disappointment!
I think I will stay w my ApexPro and old 987.1! Besides, it’s more fun to learn to drive a slow car fast than drive a fast car slow 🤣

Does anyone have the data to import Sonoma raceway (aka Infineon, aka Sears Point) into the application - my version doesn't appear to contain this track. I'm assuming the file is a set of coordinates in an xml file(?)
I have used the app at Laguna and Thunderhill but there is nothing for Sonoma

Disappointment? It’s a POS, plain and simple.

Even worse, they will probably make you buy a 992 to fix it.

I've used it at Thunderhill and Laguna on my '17 GTS. I kind of like it, and it works well for me. And if you import the data into an iPad later you get a ton more plots and data to play with.

Well lucky some of you are making good use of the app. I bought the sport chrono package to use the app during track days (really liked the gas brake steering telemetry recording) only to find that due to some retarded wireless regulations in S Korea I cannot connect to the app.

Thank you dealer for letting me know after the fact

i just use harrys LapTimer. Great app but no telemetry info.

Get an obd connector such as kiwi. Several are compatible with track apps and will give you some telemetry

I got a kiwi3 on Massdrop order, to get obd data to the app. Extra $10 (for me as well) off using this link:

This is why I didn't order my T w/ the 'chrono' pkg. It has the 'sport' built into thew car as standard, and I don't have to look at the wart on the dash.

Came to this thread in hopes of finding easy solution for my track app frustration. My first day with it at the track today and it was nothing but a pain in the ***. Went back to Harry’s with Kiwi OBD after the third session. Alas, I guess I did find my easy solution...

Once you do that it disconnects the car's wifi from the Track App. Anyone figured this out?

Also are there any instructions to the app somewhere in the Porsche world?

Thanks Stormrone your tutorial was helpful to get me this far.

BTW I have a Carrera S with Sportschron and the Track App works with this model.
I'm running into the same issue..,. How does Porsche design a feature to add GoPro video but they don't give instructions on how the process works?!?
