Cluster Display project

[NaviS]

I want one as an 8HP Gear indicator. I am using the CanTcu controller. Can you send me a dm? I am still not able to contact you…

Sorry, I don't really work on this project since a long time. I still have it in my M3 and it's working great. Mostly using it for oil pressure, gearbox temp and diff temp, rather than values form canbus or K-line.
Also still have a few left, mostly as spares or desired for 8HP gear display for future builds.

But if you have specific questions about this project or the function etc, feel free to ask

Same here. I cannot send you a dm for some reason.
ps: I am from Germany. Würde mich über eine Nachricht freuen.

Hey im interested in implementing this on my cluster. If youc ould soare some time to share more in depth details of the project, hit me up. Made an account specifically to reach out xD

hello
how can i buy this please for E46 M3 with 8hp46 and cantcu

[AllenE46]

Just send me a PM please

nam3forum is not letting me send you PMs for some reason. Might be because I only have a couple relies and I made the account just recently.

CanTCU does send out CAN data for TCU gear/Oil temp/Oil Temp through its default data stream. As for analog I think only input if I'm reading the wiki correctly.
Is there another way to contact you more about this? Would like to gather up parts prior to the swap.

It doesn't matter what device is on the other side, as long as it can send out CAN data, analog values etc, it's doable to show the data on the display.

btw paris (paraklas) also switching to a canformance tcu.

I'm wondering if it's possible for you to make a custom gear indicator similar to the one you have made for paraklas(e46fanatics), but for 8hp running CanTCU?
Please let me know what other information you would require.

I build a few individual ones on request since then, but I decided against the idea of a „real product“ because of there are to much options to customize for every single usage. Like different analog sensors etc.
also there are some possibilities for „User errors“ like wrong installation, damage to cluster and the installation is not that easy for everyone. As example the inside of the housing (backcover) need to modified/trimmed.

So, it's been a few months...Any update on this S54B32 ? I'd love one of these!

Congratulations to everyone involved in this project! Awesome job for a true passionate BMW e46 owner indeed! Money and time doesen't matter true!

Thanks for clarifying. My original understanding was correct then.

Do you mind sharing the request message/scaler for temperature then? I understand if you would prefer not to.

Sorry I don‘t have it. As is said there was no need for me because I deleted the SMG from my car.
i only do research for specific IDs when I need them or when someone want these in cluster-display. Otherwise you would never find a end with thousands of values/functions in all the control units.

[nickpiper12]

As I said, if you have SMG: temperature is accessible via K-line from SMG-Control Unit.

And if you have a 6MT car with a gearbox that was PREVIOUS a SMG gearbox but now is 6MT: you have to wire the temp sensor to analog input of your display.
