Firmware v2.3.3 — the phone app arrives, and a new sun visor

997 Chrono display with the matte carbon-fibre sun visor fitted, shading the screen

Those with a keen eye may notice the bump in major version number. With version 2 of the firmware we bring support for an iOS and Android app to connect to and configure the display. It makes the options far easier to manage, and images can be uploaded and firmware updated straight from your phone.

The sun has got his hat on

We’ve also developed a small add-on. It replaces the fillet and adds a small visor over the display, which helps with direct light and reflections — both in the day, and the screen reflecting into the windscreen at night. It’s printed in ASA with carbon fibre so it’s as matte as possible and able to survive the heat of a dash top. Check it out here: 997 Chrono Sun Visor.

v2.3.3

  • App control — download the “997 Chrono” app from your chosen app store and connect over Bluetooth.
  • TPMS 0 pressure bug fixed (properly this time!).
  • Start screen setting, and temperature thresholds to swap screen.
  • RPM alert can now be set from the RPM buzzer.
  • Higher frame updates and a smoother splash screen fade.

What’s next

We have the device working with an OBDLink CX OBD-II dongle, which brings in additional diagnostic parameters such as lambda values and intake temperatures. It’s in final testing now and releases in Q3 2026. This sticks with our belief in keeping the device as simple as possible, and being able to return the car to factory without any effort.

We also have some look-and-feel updates on the way, which will help with how the available data is presented.

How to update. The simplest route is now over the air through the app. Alternatively, see our firmware update guide for the USB method. Firmware updates are always free.

As always, thank you for your support — and if you have a suggestion or improvement in mind, drop us an email.
