Guys, I was bored this afternoon, and put my car on "DYNO MODE" and I was wondering what INSTR SW and INSTR HW was and what was your "versions" and also...this was a warm car, so is my engine oil a little low?

but here are the pics of the 3 settings in dyno mode. are my settings correct?





and just a random shot of my boring interior.

I think instr hw and sw means instrument hardware and software versions. as for oil level that should be right, I just go off of my other oil level reading sensor which I know may not always be accurate. as for that last menu, what is that? Battery level? I have Command so I can check mine through the 1+3+5 mute trick

yeah tahts the battery level. engine oil wise, the booklet says 7.8qt. so i was wondering if it was "accurate"

Only way to tell is to empty it,

Run dyno mode before you cold start the car. It should read 7.9-8.0 qts then. Once the engine starts the oil level will decrease, as Dyno mode measures only what is in the pan... minus what is circulating in the system when running.

Correct.

I'm wondering what software and hardware versions are people running on!?? Just a curiousity.

Hmm, that's kind of a personal question isn't it? LOL!

I'll post my numbers later but I did check my oil prior to starting the car up this morning. it was at 7.4 qts.

I had to have mine update to the latest version because the one on my unit didn't have the Bi-X settings. I know I have the latest one as of about 2 months ago.

crap I wonder if I have like an older version lol. Does it make a difference!? lol


by the way, this morning, when i first started up, the oil jumped to like 8.2qt and then after the engine idle was norm. it stayed at 7.4
