When I purchased the add-on yesterday I didn't get what you did showing compatible model at bottom. That area was just blank on mine. I did have '12 Toyota/Lexus vehicle selected in profile too. It could be my old ELM adapter. I may need to pick up that Vgate OBD adapter you are using.

Got Fusion to detect my vehicle properly for the add-on


Both AT temps detected too.

I sent off OBD Fusion support on whether they could tap into this data list item.

Nice! The list of sensors in the extra package is overwhelming. I will test a few to see.
One think I need to confirm the accuracy is the fuel level. It shows a ballpark number but it changes as you drive.
I’m going to create a dashboard with all the fuel, mileage, distance just for
road trips.
Are you able to connect to the TPMS monitors. ​​​​​​I couldn’t figure out but it I hope it would work since TS has it.

There is a lot of data there. For someone who doesn't have TS this is a good troubleshooting software as well since the enhanced diagnostic pack has access to apparently most modules.

I did try TPMS quickly but didn't pull any data. Need to see if that works when moving. That would be cool to have.

Awesome info guys! I have yet to purchase a obd2 reader. What, in your opinion is a reliable, affordable unit? Is there an advantage between bluetooth and wifi?

I'm using one of these older ELM327 units. Years back Wi-Fi ones seemed to work better but that may be a moot point now using the BT ones. Sorry.... I don't have any current recommendations.

I have the Vgate wifi. I like wifi better because it frees up bluetooth and have it connect to the head unit for music streaming, youtube and phone

I noticed Fusion reads lower temps than Torque. Definitely not unhappy with that but need to confirm with TS on which product is accurate.

Support said: "I am seeing an ATF Thermal Degradation Estimate PID on our Toyota add-on for your vehicle."

I asked them to pinpoint where I would find this as not in engine and AT area on mine anyway...

I bought the app yesterday when my BAFX WiFi showed up from amazon. The parameter is there. My 2016 GX has 26K on it.

I'm thinking this might be something added in 2014+.

I'm not seeing that in any listing connected or disconnect in SAE or Toyota extended codes.

I assume that one is showing up in your extended code area of Engine/Transmission?

Yes, I bought the Toyota/Lexus/Scion specific package. The Parameter is listed in Engine/Transmission list. So far (one day sample) this counter appears to increment with engine start/stop cycles. Not sure if/how run time or ATF temp is involved yet.

Good to know on sampling.

It might just be a capability my older GX doesn't have. I plan to try this custom PID I saw over at Tacomaworld. I will try with Torque as well if it doesn't work with Fusion.

https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/atf-thermal-degradation-estimate-from-ecu.535949/

Mode and PID: 22162B
Long name: ATF Thermal Degradation Estimate
Short name: ATF Degrad
Min value: 0
Max value: 65535
Scale: x1
Unit: –
Equation: A*256+B
OBD Header: 701
Diag. Start Comm: 1001

Anyone care to share some screenshots of what gauges you're all monitoring? I have a few setup but I'm always changing things around.
