RealDash version 2.6.2

2.6.2 released 17.12.2025

New:

  • Option to set delay after connect for USB connections.

Fixes:

  • Fixed odometer value not setting correctly from Garage.
  • Fixed CAN XML startbit-bitcount when offset and length was not specified.
  • Fixed re-connect on some connection types.
  • OBD2: Fixed parsing of ATRV response.

NOTES

The new ‘Delay After Connection’ option is available in USB device Baud Rate screen by pressing ‘Advanced’ button. This option may be necessary for Arduino etc devices with USB connection as those devices expect firmware update to come in when USB is connected. When ‘Delay After Connection’ is set to ‘YES’, RealDash connects to the USB device and waits for 6 seconds before sending anything to the device. This should allow Arduino to skip firmware update sequence and connect normally.

This version fixes an issue with CAN XML parsing where value’s ‘length’ attribute was defaulted to 1 when not specified in XML file. This broke startbit-bitcount attributes that pointed more than one byte of data.

A change was made on how connections behave in re-connect scenarios. This should help with some re-connect issues with some devices.
