How do you code CSL oil level indicator?

[nextelbuddy]

when i ran the CSL software i had this working and i really did like it. I typically used the "real time" mode by letting the car sit for 2 min on a flat surface and then pressing and holding the sport button to see the flashing values in the cluster for oil level and it was fairly accurate for me.

i am sad now that i wont be able to use this since im going turbo and thus have to use a NON CSL software for my turbo tune as the base map and lose the oil level functionality. its just one of those really neat small detail features that are OEM+ that help set a car off if thats what you are going for.

i really am hoping there is a day that someone is able to figure out what piece of code to transpose over to the NON CSL software to get this working.

You need CSL firmware on your DME to get it to work. I'm assuming the alpha n tune is based on the regular HP firmware, which means that even though it's enabled on the cluster, the DME won't be sending over the pertinent information.

Also, if you pull the cluster, you'll find the version number printed on a sticker. Undo the two screws at the top and pull towards you to get it out.

Can the cluster version also be read by INPA or perhaps using NCS Dummy?

Yup, NCS Expert should show you the version as well.

The CSL oil dipstick is different the maximum and minimal reading on the dipstick is lower compared to the stock M3

It is roughly 4mm lower measured from top and bottom of the tube.

I would say the digital oil level reading has been set to be more conservative and to trigger earlier than the stock M3 software versions so it makes no sense to change it.

Interesting, thanks for the information!
