Can the Nanocom Evo read Transmission Oil temperature?
It appears to read only Engine Oil temperature 
I have just done my 1st transmission oil change along with a new metal sump 
And am about to do my second oil change.
The first oil change was done by the ( that oil feels warm enough method )

I know that someone must know if this is possible.
Or what other method is being used other than another diagnostic unit.

Hi,
I saw a post on the Nanocom forums asking about this in 2014- BlackBox just suggested putting it in the suggestions box (NANOCOM Forums (http://forum.nanocom-diagnostics.com/thread-1342.html?highlight=oil+temperature)). 
No resolution as yet.  It's still on the suggestions list:  NANOCOM Forums (http://forum.nanocom-diagnostics.com/thread-2122.html)
Last response from BBS in March 2016: "Unfortunately this cannot be added due to some technicalities. We'll keep it in the list though and see how we can get around. "
Regards,
David

I appreciate this doesn't answer your question directly but the Gap iiD Tool does read Transmission Oil Temperature as a live value.
I have done this myself (displayed live value) many times.
To me this proves that it is an available parameter and technically feasible, at least for D4 MY14 (my model).
Perhaps D3 ECUs are different.

Scott

Thank you all for your suggestions.
The Nanocom unit has some great features.I guess we can't have everything.
I'll just have to make do for the time being

Also works on my 6 speed D4 - had it logging on my recent trip away just to see how it went
