Thank you very much. I'm currently running HLT on the iPhone, getting OBDII data streamed over BT from a Kiwi BT dongle. I have to assume that you won't get lap times built-in from the Garmin (or any action cam) because they don't understand laps, but can you explain more about getting OBDII data straight onto the Garmin and what the end product looks like?

For comparison, this is what I'm getting from HLT using an iPhone 4S for front video and an iPhone 7 for rear video: https://youtu.be/bFnAMbgXb-8
