Status Info within Pivi Pro/Dash

Hiya,

Is there any way to see Oil temp, Oil level, & tyre pressure within Pivi Pro/Dash?

You can definitely see tyre pressure in dash as for the other two I don’t believe you can🤔 26MY SE 90 in Woolstone green on order.

There’s a dipstick for oil level.

A GAP IIDTool can read oil temperature/pressure and just about every value held in the ECUs, but there’s no way of displaying it on the Pivi screen.

Tyre pressures are shown on the drivers display.

Not all Defenders have dipsticks. But I can check the oil level through Pivi.

Yes mine has a dipstick, though one of poor design and hard to read IMO. Surprised about oil temp, will have to play around on the dash to find tyre pressures.

There was no way to display these things in the old Defender and it didn't seem to ever be a problem.

It did have a water temperature gauge, but there were basically three possible readings it would show.

"Cold" "Normal" and "too late"

Things don’t have to be a problem to justify change or improvement; quality of life & convenience are reason enough. We’re also talking about a vehicle (130) that starts at £84k.

The madness of £84k aside, this is the the pressure screen in the driver display.

My 200Tdi had an oil pressure gauge but it always seemed to make things up as it went along.
