Hijack Fuel Gauge To Show Boost Level

djlilmikeny · 01-02-2015, 05:16 PM

Any possibility to code fuel gauge to show boost level without JB4 or OpenSource Tablet? Possible on BMWhat App? Any other options?

Thanks,
-Mike

Of course not. Coding only enables features that are available options from the factory. The fuel gauge hi-jack is a trick that the JB4 uses by communication on the CANBUS. There is no reason BMW would do this from the factory.
