Yes you can, you just need to find out the voltage scaling to input into ectune.

But more of temp sender is an \"resistance\" value and not an voltage output :? :?

Just use the existing 5V reference from the ecu and create a resistor network for the RTD sensor so that it outputs a 0-5v signal. The stock ecu has this kind of circuit for the stock temperature sensors.
