yes exactly.

There should be info and links in the first part of this thread.

I'm not sure the hex code for the temperature gauge can be modified in NCS Expert. BMW Scanner 1.4 (PA Soft 1.4) is what everyone has used for this mod. I did however use NCS Expert with NCS Dummy to modify the high cluster gong and message "drop dead" alert to 115C instead of 125C though. You can find that 125C line in the LCM module trace file and add the 115C parameter with NCS Dummy. :thumbup:

@overboost- did you verify that the message/gong actually comes on at the new temp?

No sir. That will be a bad day if it gets to 115C. :rofl:

It all should be correct, the added parameters works well on the 5 blinks from 3 blinks on my E46 LCM so I know the added parameters deliver as commanded.

Hey guys, didn't want to start another thread so I figured I'd pull this one back up.


Question, I am finally getting around to re-coding my temp gauge and am not finding the "usual" hex string, I am finding this though, which looks like it may be it?



Starting at 0x0F0, running in to 0x100: 0F 5F 32 CA 4B CA 73 38 78 6A 7D FF

Which repeats at 0x290, running in to 0x2A0

Or..., I may just be totally off base as well?? :dunno:




EDIT: It looks like that may actually be it, seems it translates to: 50c 75c 115c 120c 125c


So I would change that to: 0F 5F 36 CA 55 CA 5F 38 6E 6A 73 FF


Which should translate to: xx xx 60c xx 85c xx 95c xx 110c xx 125c


Keep me honest here guys, this is one I don't want to brick :D

Looks good to me. Almost exactly what I used. More details in the following post, where I compared what I found vs. reports from overboost and crowz.

and more details after I did it, in post #52 of that thread.

NICE! :D


Thanks oldskewl, she's all re-coded and ready for her maiden run first thing in the morning. :thumbup:


When I started doing the math I thought I was there, but not being a wiz hex guy and it being "coding" and all.. I wanted to be double sure.

Always save your original hex code before modifying it so if you make a mistake, you are able to get back.

LoL - good advice for sure! I actually saved it twice as .bin and .bin1 - just in case :confused: Been bitten too many times by saving a minute...
