In lieu of readable gauges...

[workingonit]

So far, I'm not a fan of my new-to-me '01 X5 3.0i's gauges and controls; the misleading coolant temperature gauge on the dash first among them. Instead of trying to reprogram it using Greek-to-me "hexadecimal coding" via inpa/ista/wink/etc. PC-based K+D Can cables & magic, I set up a spare phone with Torque Pro app, and an engine coolant dial on the screen.

However, it takes awhile to get it up and running each time, so I'd rather have a built-in or add-on gauge ready to go. Can't find one except for $50-60 obd2 HUD dashtop chinesium stuff. And, the ones that show coolant don't show oil pressure or transmission temperatures (I'd like all 3).

I am also looking at B-tool app , which might work if I used a K+D Can cable ( plus OTG for the android phone); has anyone tried that app to get the info I want displayed?
