Can Cerbo GX get battery temp from Multi's via VE Bus RJ45 connection?

I would have to tear apart walls and floors to run JUST an-add on battery temp sensor directly to the Cerbo GX. Can I simply expect the Multi to pass that along?

I currently have a temp sensor connected to the Multi now...

It can get that information from the MultiPlus and show it on VRM. It can be seen under the battery details section in VRM:

It isn't shown anywhere on the console though.

EDIT: Also, I don't want to sound pedantic, but it is a VE.Bus connection between the MultiPlus and the CerboGX, it's not VE.Can (unless you have a Multi RS there?).

Sounds like nitpicking but there is an important distinction.

@WKirby

Are you sure you can still see the battery temperature from MP-II sensor in the battery tile?

I cannot see it now but I could couple months ago.

I asked a question about it and did not get the answer why it is gone.
