I saw on Fb Nexsys is releasing a Oil pressure sensor kit. Looks like a nice piece with built in warnings and works with MHD.
haha sorry you jack your thread. Curious how wiring will work? Will we just tap into the previous switches wiring? Also for a reflex user would you recommend this or to just get there sensor witch plugs directly into the reflex?Haha you beat me to making an official post about it. Let me know if you guys have any questions, I'd be happy to answer!
The harness is plug & play, we're using 3 unused pins on the DME & a bunch of custom code. You unplug the existing oil pressure switch (throw it in the fuck-it bucket), replace it with the sensor in our kit and use the harness in our kit to connect the sensor to the DME. You can actually fish the new harness inside the stock engine harness and into the DME box so you dont need to cut or drill holes in the rubber grommets that seal the DME box. I would recommend this setup as we have configurable thresholds for alerts (both warning and critical stages), visual & audible alerts on the dash and I-drive, and a configurable rev-limiter during oil pressure failure situations.haha sorry you jack your thread.

Is there already an installation tutorial?
Unless I am mistaken, I did not disrespect anyone, I just asked a question because we are on a Forum. I just wanted to know if there were photos or videos to illustrate the explanation already written .. i apologize for being so ignorant so stupidHave you read the post before your question?

I don´t think that an installation manual will be really neded.
I think it's a fair question. Which pins get tapped in to? How do you integrate the code into your DME? I thought I read somewhere it was flashed in MHD but there is currently no option for it. Does it need a custom tune to be utilized?Have you read the post before your question?

A tutorial would answer all that without a bunch of questions, you know?
you don't have to be sorry, there is no confusion .Sorry to create all the confusion boys, it just caught my eye hence I thought I'd share it here. This is still in the pre order stage, i assume there will be more info as you get closer to the release date.
The pricing on this is a money grab. The actual sensor part # is 12617592532, so what they offer is a "cartel style" licensing, (non-nexsys buyers should be able to at least buy a license to DIY) and a harness which would retail less than 15$.
The toggle to enable the sensor is LC_POIL_CTL_ENA. The scaling for the sensor is IP_POIL_V_POIL_REL and the RAM value you'd have to log is just POIL so I could put that into a custom logging file quite easily.About the hardware cost, you are completely right.
But somebody actually did the R&D about it, figured out how to make it work an implemented this into the MHD app. I guess this took some days of lifetime to get there.
As this product won´t sell millions of times the developer deserves some kind of income or compensation for giving his lifetime to actually make this solution available to you, right?
So to some degree the phrase "you don´t pay for my time, you pay for my knowledge" applies here.
I found the Oil pressure tables through WinOLS also but didn´t know that you can actually activate them as @carabuser stated.
So if you can find the table and define it, you may try to connect it to the connector and hope that it works.
