A very quick chime in for me here!
The dash is locked because the program is COMPLETELY different to 'normal' AiM programs. it has all sorts of different protocols and equations in it, to get it displaying correctly. So much so that any sort of change is pretty much a re-write of the whole program. And its months of work, not a couple days spent fiddling
Also - if you want oil pressure, it can be logged, and read on a computer, but not displayed on the dash board.
I understand what you're saying, but all that would be needed in this instance the click of a button enablement of a CAN Expansion Module (specifically a TC Hub), and this would have absolutely no effect on any other part of the OE configuration. Because that doesn't appear to be an option I've now had to spend several days proving a piece of kit from Ecumaster that will now talk to a Racelogic Vbox in order to display and log 8 additional temperature sensor outputs. There is no desire or need to display any of this additional data on the dash, which in any case most drivers barely look at.
