Try checking out this on the XK8 forum as this problem was solved by a member who sold the required parts,and there is a walk through of the fitting on the XK8 this also include the idiot oil pressure gauge. Why Jaguar put utterly useless gauges into one of their cars is unbelievable. This is a real problem as you can have an overheating car way before the gauge reacts, really stupid. I uprated my gauges and sensors on my old XK8 so that actually showed what the engine was doing. Cheers Keith

Nearly every new car for the last few decades is that way. Non-car people don't want to see their gauges fluctuate. Maybe it even saves a few pennies per car, I don't know.

Did you do both the temp and the oil?

I get it. I use ELM372 and display it on my AVIC in the center of my dash. I know that not everyone can do that...

I will research using my Navtool installation to get the display on my Jaguar head display. I need a Bluetooth Android platform with video output and of course the correct application running.
I may be wasting my time but will give it a shot.

I have ordered an ELM 327 as well as an OBDII splitter.
