On RS4.org (i think) someone posted the way to be able to see boost, oil pressure etc... on the RS4 computer. Does anybody remember or know how?
Cheers,
Cris

Phil, sorry to bother you, but i can't find where the boost and oil pressure are on the list. Can you see them via these codes?
Thanks

I don't think the climate control system conputer has access to these parameters.
Is it possible that you are referring to the add on module that a 3rd party have manufactured which sits between the radio and the dash display. This can be fitted with upto 8 sensors which can report on various temps, pressures etc.....
Not sure what it was called, but I'm pretty sure Bushy was looking to do a group buy or at least test one himself. Might be as well to PM him.
Hope this helps.

i did look into supplying a DIS extender item to UK users, however this never took off as it would only work on non-CAN bus cars, and only those that did not have Sat Nav so i decided not to persue it
It was from a german company called twixdata (i think)
I will try and find the url for you
cheers

The other option is to get VAG-COM or VWTool software and a cable to plug into the diagnostic port.

Good point about VAG com, though I don't think the car even has an oil pressure sensor (other than the on/off one that does the oil light) so I dare say even with this you wouldn't be able to read the oil pressure.

There's 3 that I know of in various stages of development;
1.
Tripcomp DEI - Still in development & it's been a
very long time that way, but if they can pull the features they want it sounds like good stuff.
2.
A German DIS enhancement - Seems like it has some good features and is available now. CAN bus version is supposedly in development.
3.
EFU - This might be the German kit listed above, but tmported (and possibly modified) for the US market.
