Pacedex PT EN ES
Tutorial · phone as a second screen

Your race dash on your phone

Delta, tyres, fuel and the cars ahead and behind, live, on a phone or tablet next to your wheel. No second monitor needed. There are two ways to do it: pick yours below. In the pictures, the yellow outline shows where to click.

Option A · nothing to install on the phoneI have Pacedex on a PCThe PC receives the game. The phone opens the dash in its browser, from a QR code. Works on Android and iPhone. Option B · Android appNo PC (I play on console)The app on the phone gets the telemetry straight from the PlayStation or Xbox. No PC running.
Either way:
  • Phone and game (or PC) on the same home Wi-Fi.
  • A phone mount near the wheel helps a lot.
Option A · Part 1

Hook the phone up to the PC

Is Pacedex already getting the game on your PC? Not yet? Do your first race first. After that, about 2 minutes.

1

In the left menu, under Broadcast, click Overlays

The Pacedex panel with the Overlays menu item highlighted and the Overlay studio open, showing three cards

The Overlay studio, with three cards. The phone one is on the right.

2

On the Phone · dash on the network card, click Turn on on the network

A green line, On · open on your phone: plus the address, and a QR code right below.

3

Got a Firewall warning? Click Allow in the firewall (asks for admin)

It happens the first time. Windows asks whether Pacedex may make changes: click Yes. No warning? Skip this step.

The card switched on, with the Windows Firewall warning and the Allow in the firewall (asks for admin) button highlighted

The yellow warning goes away. Without this, the phone shows “This site can't be reached”.

4

Point your phone's camera at the QR code

Tap the link the camera pops up. No QR reader? Type the address from the green line into the phone's browser, for example http://192.168.0.12:8087/mobile.

The dash opens in the phone's browser. Off track it shows Waiting for game telemetry… That's normal.

Option A · Part 2

On track

Jump into a session in the game. The dash wakes up on its own.

1

Turn the phone sideways and tap the screen once

The dash is built for landscape. The tap goes fullscreen and stops the screen from going dark mid-race.

At the bottom, the hint Tap: fullscreen and screen always on. It disappears after the tap.

2

Drive and glance at it

On the left, the wing and all 4 tyres (wear and temperature). In the middle, the DELTA to your best lap, gear and speed. On the right, the car ahead and the car behind: gap, last lap and their tyres.

💡Portrait works too: the dash becomes a scrolling column. On a tablet, everything fits at once.
Option B · Part 1

Install the app on your phone

Here the phone is the whole of Pacedex: it receives the game, shows the dash, talks on the radio and keeps your races. Made for PlayStation and Xbox players.

1

Install Pacedex from Google Play

On the phone, open the Pacedex page on Google Play or search for Pacedex in the store. Free, Android 8 or newer. No Play Store? Get the APK.

2

Open the app. It starts on Connect

The app's Connect screen: Point the console's telemetry to 192.168.0.23, port 20777, and the checklist waiting for the first packet

In big type under Point the console's telemetry to: the phone's IP (here 192.168.0.23) and the port, 20777. Write both down.

Option B · Part 2

Send the game to the phone

Now on the console, inside F1. Just once: the game remembers it.

1

In F1, open Settings → Telemetry Settings

2

Fill it in like this

Sketch of the game menu — not a screenshot

In UDP IP Address, type the number the app shows, dot by dot. The UDP Port must match the app. In UDP Format, your game's year.

3

Go out on track (a practice session is fine)

The game sends nothing from the menus. With the car on track, look at the phone.

The Connect screen receiving: 80 packets/s received and all four checklist items ticked, with F1 25 detected — format 2025

The packets/s received number turns green and all four items get a ✓, down to F1 25 detected.

💡Want a look before you switch the console on? Tap Watch the demo: a sample race runs right on the phone.
Option B · Part 3

The app's screens

The bottom bar has five buttons: Connect, Race, Radio, Debrief and You.

1

Tap Race: that's the live dash

The same dash as in option A. Turn the phone sideways to see it all at once.

The app's Race screen: position, lap, delta to the best lap, gear, speed and tyres
2

Tap Radio: everything the engineer said

Each call shows up in writing, with the lap. Urgent ones are red. Below, under Your controller buttons, you link controller buttons to Talk to the engineer, How am I doing?, When do I pit? and How are the tyres?. Tap Map and follow How to map it on the console (one time).

3

After the flag, tap Debrief and then the race

Your result, the Time on the table (what you left out there) and what to practise in each corner. At the bottom, Full analysis in the panel opens the whole Pacedex panel, the same one as on PC, on the phone.

4

Everything else lives in You

Account (optional), privacy, the app's and the engineer's language, km/h or mph, and the AI voice engineer.

📱iPhone: the iPhone app isn't out yet. Until then, use option A: the dash opens in Safari from the QR code.

Something went wrong?

  • The QR opens but the page won't load: make sure the phone is on the same Wi-Fi as the PC (not on mobile data). Click Allow in the firewall (asks for admin) on the card and accept the Windows prompt. Still nothing? Open Page won't open on your phone? on the same card: it has the steps and a ready-to-copy command.
  • Guest Wi-Fi: it keeps devices apart from each other. Put the phone on your main home network.
  • Antivirus with its own firewall (Norton, McAfee, Kaspersky): it needs a separate permission, inside the antivirus.
  • The screen goes dark mid-race: in option A, tap the dash once after it opens. Came back from another app? Tap again. Keeping the phone on a charger helps.
  • The app gets nothing (option B): after 20 seconds it tells you. Check the IP in UDP IP Address (the app's, not the PC's), that the UDP Port matches the app and that UDP Broadcast Mode is off. A console on a cable and a phone on Wi-Fi sometimes end up on different networks on the router.
  • The phone's IP changed: the router can hand out a new number after a restart. Open Connect and compare it with the game.
  • You play on PC and want the app on the phone: the game sends to one address only. If the PC's Pacedex stops receiving, use option A.
