I wonder if all I need to do is to verify that my IBus app setting is correct. In any case, Hella does not make N62 engine oil level sensor - looked at both FCPEuro and Hella website. FCPEuro has OEM and Vemco oil level sensor for the N62 engine. Not sure if Vemco will fix the display in case I needed to upgrade the oil level sensor.
When I was trying to get it to work a few weeks back, I changed my settings to LCMIV but it still didn't work. That's what made me decide to try replacing the level sensor.

Might be worth checking in your case. I'm fairly sure it defaults to LCMIII.

I just installed the new Resler USB IBUS interface and the updated app. The setting was already on LCMIV but still no oil temp. I've placed an order for the Vemo oil level sensor from FCPEuro. It's actually more expensive than BMW OEM.

Hopefully it'll show the oil temp - fingers crossed. If not, at least I will get my money back. I'll just do a quick swap (without actually installing it in the sump) and see if it registers oil temp.

So installed the Vemo oil level sensor from FCPEuro and ......nada, still no oil temp with LCM4 etc setting or any other setting. I'm throwing in the twoel and I'll just stick to coolant temp.

While fooling around with oil temp settings, I got the beautiful gong now consistently. I got it by setting the engine speed while cold warning, above the threshold setting, you get the amazing gong.

You also have something else different going on. Your vehicle showing lights, open doors, windows, etc is in the middle of your screen. Mine is at the bottom and very small. Did you change a setting for that or did it come that way?

It came that way, I also tether the unit to my phone's internet so I always have the latest updates. Since I got the unit I've done about 5 updates so far. The unit checks for updates automatically.

you dont want it that way, look at his screen, there is jumbled text misaligned and pushed out of the waytowards bottom of the screen when it is setup like that.

the way it is set from default is the best way.

i have accidently set it that way as well before and reverted back i just cant remember that process, I didn't like it.

I actually prefer the large image in the middle as it has very useful information. It even shows the problem that my rear sunroof has. I've contacted the developer of the app about the distorted text. It's obviously a software issue that can be fixed with an update. He has a facebook group that's very active.
