I've been a DIIA owner for just a few months and a Nanocom owner somewhat less time, so apologies if I ask some DNQs or things that I should have found by better searching.
1. Td5 Auto Trans section - Inputs - General - page 4 - Line 5 "Engine Temp (c)": Is this actually transmission oil temp near the converter outlet to the cooler? Seemed to be substantially lower than Coolant Temp in the Engine section. If so, has any asked BBS Guy if this could be added to the Instrument Mode displays. As a caravan tower, I'd find this of far more use than Engine rpm or Road Speed on the first page, which are already very adequately displayed. Even more helpful would be if it had an alarm function like Coolant Temp.
2. Td5 Auto Trans section - Utility- "Reset Adaptive Val.": Is this something I want to do? Or best left alone. I kind of like the idea of the auto learning my preferences but don't want to risk stuffing up what already seems pretty good behaviour.
3. Instrument Mode - Page 3 - displays a number for each of the 5 cylinders. What is this telling me and why would I want to be watching these numbers as I drive the highways and byways of this wide brown land??
4. Can Nanocom (with appropriate unlock code) talk to a 300Tdi ABS, and/or other systems (door open chimes etc.). I know how to do it 'manually' but it would be good to be able to reset the ABS faults if I even have another brake pedal switch disintegrate etc.
Can't answer, but gan give a warning. D2 temp gauges are the worst thing about the car. They sit resolutely at half way and do not represent what is actually going on at all. If, as you say, you tow, a temperature and low coolant alarm are a MUST.
Your 4th question: I am not sure that D1s had the OBDII port.
