ABRP live data while towing

[DarthBrader]

Now that ABRP supports Rivian live data (easily), has anyone tried it while towing? Will ABRP know that you are towing? There doesn't seem to be a way to tell ABRP that you are towing, nor does there seem to be a separate reference consumption per trailer, like on the built-in nav. Does towing mess up your calibrated reference consumption in ABRP? Has anyone tried this yet?

I manually update the reference consumption when using ABRP for planning my towing trips.

ABRP now has this under vehicle selection. When you go to select vehicle you can select a configuration. Example is "Standard" or "Large Caravan". I can switch between the two and the large trailer/caravan setting is where I store my reference consumption for towing.

Thanks, yes, that's what I've been doing and it works pretty well. But it's all manual based on my own calculations / observation. I don't see a way to pull in live data for that, at least not automatically.

Thanks, yes, I have used that feature, manually at least. It seems to pull in the same reference consumption from live data regardless of which configuration I select. Haven't tried towing with live data yet, but I get the same reference consumption based on live data for "All purpose"; "Distance"; and "Sport" configurations. So maybe that answers the question--there's no separate consumption tracking by configuration (yet?).

For me, if I manually adjust the consumption on the trailer profile it sticks and then when I'm not towing I select all purpose. Before that I had to keep resetting to get back the default reference consumption.
