avoid oil-pressure alarm at start up

At the moment I have an alarm for low oil pressure, but this comes on when I start the car because oil pressure takes a second or so to come up. How can I avoid this? I've got a condition saying RPM > 500 but this doesn't seem to do the job. Ideally I want an extra condition like engine running time...

Actually BMW use a dual temperature sender for the coolant (two sensors in one four-wire package), so the ECU reads one sender and the stock dash (or dash2pro) reads the other independently. So happily this isn't an issue, I've now got the RT dash working fine with the stock S50B32 sender (I calibra...

I have a dash2pro - I've figured out how to use the shift lights for this purpose. Presumably this would be the "Time Slip" variable to display it on screen? Can't see an "IN LAP" variable. (or is it "Best Lap Delta" that I need)? I guess I could make a maths channel an...

OK, thanks. Is there a way to display a predictive laptime that updates continuously, not just at each sector marker?

Got bored so decided to bodge the time - for anyone else wanting to do this, set one of the aux channels to be based on this equation: (int((VAR_0405-int(VAR_0405/86400)*86400)/3600))+(int(((VAR_0405-int(VAR_0405/86400)*86400)-((int((VAR_0405-int(VAR_0405/86400)*86400)/3600))*3600))/60))/100 You can...

PLAP vs PLAP2

What's the difference between predictive lap 1 and predictive lap 2?

Thanks Debbie, good to know there is a repair option. The scratches are annoying but not terrible so will see how it goes for now, if it annoys me maybe will look at a screen repair.

scratched screen

I am an idiot and managed to (lightly) scratch the screen on my dash2pro tonight :-( Is this polishable or would that just make it worse? Are RaceTech able to replace the screen if I were to send it to you?

got to the bottom of this one, I think: noticed that the USB connection and the buttons weren't working either (although there was still 3.25V and ground going to the buttons, pressing them did nothing). Unplugged the dash and noticed that inside the A connector, a few strands of wire (from trimming...

5v reference died

One of the 5V reference outputs on my dash2pro seems to have died - it's now outputting about 1.6V which I think drops to zero when I put any load on it, judging by the readings I see. I'm using the other 5V reference for now but any thoughts on how/why this happened? (Car hadn't moved so not really...

bump from me, would be great to have time of day available (on Dash2Pro). Ideally would like to be able to show it in a menu rather than have to take up one of the screens (but both options would be nice of course). HH:MM is enough, don't really need seconds or date.

BMW E36 M3 S50B32 oil and water temperature senders

Hi,

Has anyone got data on the resistance / temperature behaviour of the stock BMW S50B32 oil and coolant temperature senders, to save me having to remove mine and boil them in a saucepan with a multimeter attached?

cheers
