My coolant temperature recorded 90 degree as the highest temp during my trip to Singapore. Previously it show almost 100 degree but after I replace the previous coolant with original BMW coolant, the temp reduce. Mine is 530d.

So I guess this should be a normal operating temperature...

hye bro Major Noh, obdII bluetooth is actually a device or interface unit where by you connect to your car obdII port without wire ( via bluetooth) to scan your computer box using your lappy or hp with android os . yeah, you can purchase it locally and the price is very cheap. do let me know if you interested, i will give you contact person and contact number.

i got it from the seller bro free of charge, but u can download it in market too but you will need to pay for it... go for Torque Pro version
u just need the bluetooth device, no other additional hardware needed.
probably u have not pair the bluetooh device with ur android hp tats why u cant detect device in the apps

Yes Bro Ted, would luv to have one if its practical. As it is now, I have to always check my coolant, see if there is any reduction in my extension coolant tank. Thanks bro for your assistant.

I believe the scanner to monitor the coolant temperature not the coolant level.
