Thank you for doing this! I'm using a standalone in my e46 but cant drive the tacho from it. Been feeding the stock ms42 a 50% pwm on the cam sensor as tacho out from the standalone , problem is it's fired every ignition event so i need to multiply it by some number to get it roughly correct. Problem after that is that the frequency using a low multiplier is too low for the standalone so i cant get the dash below 1200 rpm Going to try setting up some can messages for it instead. Migh buy a display and mod it in the auto tranny slot to display something(thnking oil press/temp) while im at it.
I'm working on it :) The factory cluster is limited in what it can do unless the code is disassembled - with current community knowledge a factory function would needed to be overloaded to provide the temperature (basically switch between exterior air temp & coolant temp). I'm taking a different path and replacing the screen with my own, then recreating the factory functions and adding new ones - like coolant temp, oil temp, boost, etc.
Its so cool to hear your own project mentioned in a video that seems interesting :) Im very glad the information posted was helpful!

You're welcome! I'm actually working on replacing the main odometer display so can have live data available (oil temp/pressure, boost, etc).
make a code pls for e46 to see coolant temp with BC button
