Fred,
As far as I recall even guys with a 996 cluster in a boxster don't route the signal though CAN bus or the older style protocol. It is 996 pressure transducer stuck in the left (if you want to retain the idiot light) or right bank wired to the back on the gauge.....not sure what the stock 996 does. I have a sneaking suspicion that the signal leads are right in wiring loom....someone correct me?

PLX devices for dashcommand and Kiwi require a big signal conditioning boxes. But there is nothing for a windows platform yet as far as I know. Not sure how Bluetooth pairing works for oil pressure on startup...my guess is not

I have a an old dgauge that will take two transducers feeds straight in along with OBD II and display with alarms but I am having trouble with the k line signal timing with my 986 ecu .....was made for a 996 apparently. So the thing does not light up.

Your display style ....is spot on

So you mean the German pressure sensor is in the dash and sensing remotely? just kiddin..

Signal is available somewhere already I'm sure of that, just got to find it. I'll shoot pid and bytes/conversions here on the board... if I find them before you do I'll go have a look at that sensor when I find passion for it

kline bosch clones made my china $79.99. Works beautifully its funny lolll
