2018 4 banger doesnt have a performance timer?

I see u guys posting pics of the 0-60 timer. My camaro doesnt have that. Instead it is just a plain stop watch timer....useless.

Am i missing something or is that just how the 18s are?

Page 128 of the owners manual says some items in the Driver Information Center may be off by default and can be turned on through the Settings or Option app.

You need the RS or 1LE package on the 2.0T if you want that option, I believe.

I bought the OBDLink MX+ and it has a 0-60 timer on it, using data from the ECU. It's a pretty impressive tool for $70. More engine info than I could have imagined right from the stock app.

Even cheaper option to buy bafx obd2 for $20 and then use torque pro app for $5 0-60 times measured and a lot more like hp and torque

Yeah, OBDLink app is free to download. I'm currently using it to track: fuel rail pressure, throttle position, fuel rate, O2 sensor, boost, air/fuel ratio, intake pressure, mass air flow rate, engine power, engine torque, 0-60, and 1/4 mile times.

I checked out the BAFX module but I didn't like how long it was. I like the shorter profile of the OBDLink. It's really tucked up in there.

That sounds cool.

Have any 18 owners esperienced what im talking about and fixed it?

I vaguely remember reading that the performance timer was done away with because too many problems came about from people going 0-60 WoT all the time

On the 2019, the performance variables (friction bubble, performance timer, etc...) is available with the "uplevel cluster" instrument cluster. My 1LT does not have that. I have the base instrument cluster and the options within the cluster menu are limited.

OP, has a 17, Irobles has an 18, Nerdchop has an 18, I was talking to them, as your info about needing rs or 1le is wrong. You didn't mention having a problem on your 19.
