Oil temp on instrument cluster is lower than actual on retrofitted Live Cockpit

sstyle · 08-10-2023, 10:58 AM

I have the X3M 2019 with retrofitted ID7 (MGU + Live cockpit). And there is very strange issue - oil temperature on the right side is lower than actual. Hidden menu and MGU screen shows correct values!

I tried to recode DKOMBI to stock, reflash DME - no success.

You're comparing oil temps to coolant temps.

No, because all pics has OIL icon. Also coolant temp also 93C based on hidden manu. My friend came to me today with his X4M 2021 and temp was ok on the cluster.

They are different sensors/clusters, diagnostic vs performance data. They wont match.

Again - my friend on X4M has not issues. Temperatures are same.

I would assume that something in your retrofit hasn't been calibrated to match how your BMW originally came equipped.

That's the only thing I could think, if the sensor is the exact same for both readings the only discrepancy would be the calibration of the read out.

sstyle have you done an NCD compare against your friends X4M?

Sure I did. Yesterday we tried everything with guys that did retrofit. And last thing solved the issue but I got the new one.

What we did: reflashed DME to pre-LCI (0321). BTLD, SWFK, SWFL, CAFD. That's it. And now temp is ok, but..

When I press M1/M2 buttons:
1. I see an M tacho on HUD just for 1 sec and then it disappeared
2. But sport mode activated successful
3. One click on M1 button does not get me back to efficient mode
4. Workaround: click twice with some short delay and I am back.

MGU, DKOMBI, BDC, DME has absolutely same software as pre-LCI car. I have no idea now (
