I was able to code for the G sensor (OBD 11) on my 5S and have it show in the VC but it did not do anything. Was told afterward that the sensor modal itself was not on the S but is in the R. Following to see if the sensor itself can be added.
I have a feeling said hardware is a tiny SoC (like those on modern cell phones) that was not soldered to one of the ECU boards for the S.
Funny you should mention that, as the new MIB3 version of the MMI system that is appearing in the B9.5 update is using the new Samsung Exynos Auto 8890 processor to drive the infotainment system.
All B9 models have a G sensor, it is part of the centralised chassis control system and is used for a variety of functions. I have no idea if the RS models MMI display system is tapping the CAN-bus data from this sensor, or they added a separate one. Probably the latter.

I use the accelerometer all the time. With Torque, all you need is an OBD2 dongle (they are cheap and easily available) and your problem is solved. I have a magnetic mount from JB4 stuck to my dashboard where I mount my phone for easy viewing in real-time.
Another nice feature of Torque is that I can get a *real-time digital tachometer* with maximum and minimum values, which has been an itch I was desperate to scratch.
