I just noticed on my drive home last night that the power meter bar, which I enabled using Forscan on my '23 Premium, is no longer functioning. It still appears on the IPC, and actually shows all of the jailbars at the moment, but doesn't graph usage or regen on the meter at all. I don't look at it all that often, so I don't know when it might have stopped, but I always thought it was ridiculous that the car didn't display power usage/generation anywhere...

The only thing that I can think of that might have something to do with this is that I installed a Comma 4 a few months back (love it, BTW), and I enabled the "Show Hybrid/EV Power Flow" option in BluePilot, which is graphing the same data. Since the Comma is hijacking the ADAS data from the IPMA and controlling some of the content on the IPC, is this maybe why the IPC power meter doesn't work anymore?

Has anyone else that has enabled the power bar for non-GT models had it stop working? Or has anyone who has a Comma system installed noticed that the IPC power bar isn't working anymore?

This is mostly just out of curiosity, since I now have the data displaying elsewhere... (and if it's from the Comma being installed, then I'll probably go back into Forscan and disable the IPC meter...)

Now that I think of it, I could maybe just unplug the USB cable from the Comma and see if the meter starts working again... I will try that the next time I drive...

This is old news, the power meter hack no longer works on non-GT vehicles. You must have gotten an OTA.

I tried reverting, then re-enabling the Forscan change months ago after it stopped working. No luck. They made a software change that no longer allows it via config.

Thanks, gents. I had missed that... Time to pull out Forscan again to shut it off. And I'm glad I have the Comma displaying it for me now!

I enabled mine a year ago, received a few OTA's, and it still displays.

At least so far the power meter still works in my 2024 Premium built 4/2024.

Sometimes it has one or two jail bars and other times none.
