Hi guys
I have a 2016 px2 Xlt that is stock as a rock and I was wondering if it is possible to get a actual coolant temperature readout, using forscan to change the settings so the temp displays on the dash instead of the little blue line on the dash. I’d like to know what temp my coolant actually is rather than a vague yeah it’s ok line.
TIA

Best to get a monitoring device like Scanguage, Ultraguage or OBDLink

OBD based tools provide a wealth of info, but if you just want a basic 'simple' option with alarm then something like https://engineguard.com.au/ might suit you.
