P3 Gauge Killer | BMW 2 series Temp & Boost Gauge

[@SenorFr0zn]

You can also view oil temps in the hidden menu, the only downside is that it will replace the digital portion of the dash (that normally shows you outside temperature, time, etc.) with the oil temperature. If you don't know how, hold the button to the bottom left of the dash for 8-10 seconds until a menu comes up. Navigate through the menu by short-pressing the button, select a menu item by long-pressing. Go to Unlock and it will ask for a code, the code is the sum of the last 5 digits of your VIN. Once unlocked, navigate through the next menu to the "Temperature" option, and you'll be able to toggle through all the onboard temp sensors, including oil. The frustrating part is you'll have to do this every time you start the car, it'll reset back to the standard display when the car is turned off, but it's free and arguably just as useful as an external display.

That is definitely true, but I wanted something that just works right when I get into the car. I'll be sure to pin your comment so that it helps other people. Thanks for sharing!

[@adrianmdza9485]

Thanks ! I always felt like the P3 gauges were a total ripoff

[@FritzRamos]

No problem, trust me I feel the same way

[@rodrigodonoso6944]

Hi Fritz, when you turn off the car the display is still showing you values? my concern is to know if the device continues consuming battery when the car is off

[@FritzRamos]

It does not. It'll run only until the residual power is drained

[@rodrigodonoso6944]

Thanks@@FritzRamos, your videos are awesome and also I have a 235 and Always I am thinking what it is the next part to modify haha my next upgrade are front and rear sway bar from h&r

[@rodrigopina8332]

Could you make a video to explain how to replace the coolant? Nice videos

[@JSpool1]

I still think the ultragauge is a better bang for the buck. That’s what I run in my F80.

[@austenazevedo6078]

Does this Guage only show BAR on boost?? Not psi?

[@FritzRamos]

Correct. It only uses metric units

[@stephenlozano2816]

I just purchased a P3 V3 OBD2 gauge because it has the oil temperature gauge and it looks OEM plus

[@FritzRamos]

That one does look good and doesn't totally block the vent. I'm sure you will enjoy it

Onde consigo achar o número 1 para minha bmw f30 série 3

[@christopherlawrence8270]

Will this be ok for bmw E93 diesel 2 L

[@FritzRamos]

Should be. It's just an OBDII connection

[@christopherlawrence8270]

Thanks chris

[@FritzRamos]

Thank you

[@StereoSoundAgent]

Perfect solution, this really irritates me that there's no water temp gauge for a couple of reasons. I know if this car has an overheating problem you'll get a message on the display, but because my office is right off a very busy highway and so its very tempting to accelerate hard when the car is still cold because there's such busy traffic conditions during commuter hours and when there is a gap people are usually speeding towards stopped traffic. I need a gauge to keep my behavior in check. Thanks Fritz!

[@Batang_peymus]

You have android head unit right? u can used the apps called torque pro, instead of this product u put.

[@FritzRamos]

You can, but it can be a hassle to switch screens and if you do it over bluetooth it can act up when using your phone for music. Good point and definitely an option

[@TonySayavong]

What I don’t get, is that you look at any other m235i, from any year. It has electronic gas and mpg. But for some fxckin reason yours and mine have this one. DO U KNOW WHY? Just found out I’m mad lmao

[@FritzRamos]

I did notice that! I actually like the analog dials, maybe it's because I'm old lol

[@TonySayavong]

@@FritzRamos haha, interesting. I like it too, but only care for top ones lol. Smh. I might have to talk w bmw today lmao

[@FritzRamos]

@@TonySayavong can you code that in?

[@alexyardley280]

Hey @Fritz Ramos , are you still using this gauge? I purchased this gauge and find it flashes on when the car is off. It will say OBD. Does this happen to you? Cheers

[@FritzRamos]

Still working. I haven't come across that issue. Mine blinks "- - -" for the first few seconds while the car warms up and right when I turn off the car. How long does it last?

[@alexyardley280]

@@FritzRamos seems to have sorted it self out. No issues so far and a good alternative to the p3. I have it installed in a m135i, cheers for the video and suggestion.

[@bmw_jr_]

Does this work with a bmw 3 series?

[@FritzRamos]

Yes it will

[@garett2892]

Mine was running around 245 crusing at 80 on the highway. Still with in normal ranges??

[@FritzRamos]

245 seems high. Are you sure it's set to water temp?

[@garett2892]

@@FritzRamos I should have told you it was oil temp.

[@garett2892]

@@FritzRamos my bad.

[@chrisfernandez8151]

This doesn't sound any better then the P3 guage and you only give up half the vent!

[@FritzRamos]

If you want to pay 3 times more go for P3. P3 makes a good gauge, but I don't see why it need to be that much

[@chrisfernandez8151]

@@FritzRamos Your 100% correct! I cheated and bought mine used.

You're welcome. Glad you like it

Its connected from obd?

[@FritzRamos]

Correct

[@V1K1NGofDOOM]

will this work on any bmw? i have a E90 318D from 2008, do you think it will work? :)

[@savage21cx45]

Probably bc u have obd port

[@OscarDiaz-ii7rh]

Hello, quick question, I'm about to buy one of these for my M135i, but before I'd like to know if every time that you turn on the car you need to switch from Voltage until Water temp by pressing the buttons, or if in someway it keeps in memory the last setting used. Thanks

[@FritzRamos]

Don't worry, it will stay on the last setting you had it on.
