    Question E60 M5 Instrument console Temperature gauge operation

    I just had a E60 M5 instrument display cloned to my 2009 E60 550I and everything works as it did with the original gauge, But now the oil temperature gauge operates like the original vacuum gauge. Is there a way to make it operate as a Oil Temperature gauge again like it did on the M5. I know it can because it did operate correctly before I cloned it and showed the oil Temperature, but also showed many errors on the display. Does anyone know of a program or device I could you to edit the setting in the operation of the display?

    There was work done to alter the instant MPG gauge in the non-M E60 to display oil temperature instead. It involves altering the coding data in Kombi with Tool32. This might help you.
