Steering Angle - is there a sensor value for this

[jgardner150]

Does anyone know if there is a sensor that is reading steering angle? I thought this would be a pretty easy thing to find, but have failed so far with the following:
- Bimmerlink
- OBDLink
- Autel scanner
- EcuTek

I'm asking this question for two purposes:
1. Would like to add this telemetry logs to overlay on track videos if possible
2. I'm performing my own alignments and would like to know what the car "thinks" is center. This is possibly a dumb thought, but figured newer cars care about this.

Yes, it’s available over CAN.
ID 769

I also do my own alignments and use it to make sure the steering is centered.

Also have brake force, wheel speed per wheel, etc

Thanks for the info. Awesome add on the individual wheel speeds and brake force.

Are you getting this through the OBD port or some other way? Any specific app/device you are using?

CAN bus. It’s the network that your ECU and electronics use to communicate with each other.

You can hardwire various devices directly to the network and pull info that is transmitted over itZ
