Default 991.2 Targa 4 GTS checking oil level after change

I changed the oil in my Targa today and am having trouble getting the electronic level to read. It keeps saying level unavailable at this time. I drove the car around for about 15 minutes and warmed it up. Turned off the key then back on. Nothing. Waited 10 minutes. Still nothing. What the heck am I doing wrong?

It can take 20-30 mins total. Drive a little more and it will appear.

Let it get up to temp as well but yes it can take some time. Mine takes a good 20 minute drive for sure.

Also make sure the car is on fairly flat ground. My Targa doesn't show oil level even with the slightest driveway incline.

All good. This morning before starting, it displayed the oil level as correct but not accurate until the engine was warm. As I was driving, it stated the level was correct. I filled it with exactly 8 quarts and it's right at the max level.
