Can you suggest any PIDs scanning software that I can try? Or any advise on finding non-specific pids?

If you search your vehicle make + model + "obd pids" you'll often get a few dozen sites that you can crawl through, but mind that mileage varies quite a bit. E.g. this came up pretty high in the search for "obd pid brute force scanner": https://www.reddit.com/r/CarHacking/com ... ds_on_the/

For PID scanners, I think most of them run on Windows only and I haven't personally tested any yet.

Just finished the last round of testing on a Mercedes G-Wagon running 29-bit CAN and everything's looking good. Going to sleep now and then do a last pass at everything tomorrow morning before cutting a new Sidecar release to get all these goodies into the App Store hopefully by Wednesday

This app has a pid scanner: https://www.carscanner.info/

Idk how to use it though. It’s under terminal -> pid scanner. This app looks like it supports almost every brand. I wonder where they’re getting the data from…

For the support matrix on https://sidecar.clutch.engineering/supported-cars/, can you confirm that each of the following parameters works:

Fuel level: ?
Speed: ?
Range: ?
Odometer: ?
Tire pressure: ?

kPa pressure unit added as an option in the Sidecar settings and is now tuned for display in widgets. Will go out in next release.

Not happy with it, but it's tuned for watch complications now too. I'm going to need to rethink how to show tire pressure in watch circulars.

I don't remember seeing odometer so I'll double check that later today. The rest do show up, yes.

I've pushed up v1.16.3-186 which includes some more generalizations of the 29-bit CAN-ID support. If you can double-check everything's still working fine on your Acura then I'll cut this release for App Store review today

Speed, fuel level and tire pressure work. Odometer is missing and range I assume won’t show up as it’s a ICE car.
