Thanks

I'll do some checking Monday with a friend of mine and find out for you.
Do you know what the signal parameters are required by DD?
The E38 computer does push an oil signal of the CANBUS, however, Dakota Digital's BIM-01-1 will not display it on the gauges. I'm not sure why and I've spent about 3 months and written numerous emails back and forth with DD and received no good reason why their BIM won't display it. I get IAT, gear indication, H20 temp, speed, tach, trans temp and OAT (if you have the sensor) but no oil pressure..... I let them know that most of the other gauges out there that use the CanBus CAN display oil pressure, so hopefully my continual bugging about this will prompt them to updgrade their BIM interface.
