TheMidnightNarwhal - I believe that both Canada and US are the same - I could be wrong.
Marketing doc (attached) says NA on page 10, but then explicitly says US on most of the pages. Quote:

Oh so that's why the US have DDE7, I always wondered why!
Very pleased with my temp guage its very useful to have on my 2011 M57 UK Spec. My ECU is EDC16CP35 thanks James |

I have just a quick question... does the top box ( start offset steps) have to be set for 84 for all cars, or is this number different for each car??
I only ask as my needle sits a little in front of the 0 when ignition is off. Does this number correspond to the start point of the gauge?? When it was in live mpg mode the number in the box was alot lower, something like 18?? Sorry for the daft question. Gonna have to have a play with values as it doesn't move with the current coding of 0 444 888 1333 1810 and 0 50 75 100 125 150. 🙄 Last edited by P14kle; 12-21-2020 at 11:47 AM.. |

Here's how my settings look with 90 degrees right in the middle (UK Spec DDE6), hope this helps.

Thanks for that, but alas it seems that it doesn't work on a 320d with M47TU2 engine, although I cant get a definitive answer so I will persevere.
I have DDE 6 and have a Hi Kombi retro fitted but it still won't work. 🤔☹ I'm no coding expert so forgive my ignorance... lol. |

I don't understand why you need the BMW tools (ISTA+ etc)
When reading this thread you use these tools to connect to your car but after that you close it and open the Mr Perfect tool... Where's the connection link then? I just want to activate the oil temp warning item around my M3 look rev counter |

You need to modify hardware first, then you can use perfect toolbox to activate it. |

Yes, I have a 335i so I have already a gauge at the bottom of my REV counter which is linked to the oil temp.
I added a stepmotor on the circuit board for the REV gauge but now I have to activate the in Mr Perfect called "warning zone". And so I come back to my question, can I activate this "warning zone" only by using the Mr Perfect tool software? |

It can not communicate on its own with ECU. Hence you need BMW tools installed and configured. In any case, ISTA+ would be great diagnostic toolset addition |

Okay, getting closer! I have the temp dial pulled from a cluster... but software is driving me insane! Cannot get standard tools working on a laptop, so major roadblock there :-/
Firstborn (the only one in the house with the aptitude) is trying to get it going. But at least I've got this part going for me: Last edited by StradaRedlands; Yesterday at 01:39 PM.. |

I found this video:
If the oil temp (metric) gauge on the E92 is 70C, 120C and 170C which settings would be most appropriate for the oil temperature C in the software? 70C, 95C, 120C ,145C, 170C ? |
