I’m struggling setting the odometer. From what I understand my car stores the odometer reading in the instrument cluster and the ecu increments the cluster reading as the card is driven. I want to set the odometer to the cars mileage then I’m guessing real dash can increment the mileage from there I tried sending 75415.46km to ID 310 in my can xml which works but then it goes back to 0 when I remove that line from my xml. I tried doing a button and sending value 75415 to dummy 02 then in input mapping I had odometer set off of dummy 02, that also works but then also goes back to 0 What is the difference between odometer / Car electronics and odometer calculated? I also see something about 2103 from the odb possibly being an odometer reading, I also tried an odb xml sending 2103 to 310, I get nothing from that. 2103 reads 7x2111 when I query it from the odb2 monitor. How do I get the odometer caught up to the cars milage? ---

Try to set the odometer start value from Garage. Go to the Garage and tap the title bar with your vehicle name. Then adjust the odometer value. ---

Thank you exactly what I was looking for and could not find that setting. ---

So this works until I turn the car off then the milage resets back to 0. Does realdash not save the calculated mileage? ---

Yes it does. Have you updated to the latest version of RealDash, as couple of previous versions had file handling issues on Android 10\>. ---

I’m on Android 9, I did an update this morning. If I goto Garage → top tool bar → mileage set the mileage and go back to the dash the mileage is there. If I goto Garage - Adapters → back to dash Mileage is back to 0 ---

I also tried on an Android 10 box fresh install with the default dash and following those steps odometer goes back to 0 ---
