Question : 1994 740i OBC/MID language setting |
|
|
Hi all !
I got a friend who recently purchased a 1994 740i. The car is fine, but
there is a little thing we would like to adjust : The car was first sold
in Germany and as such, all MID (on the center console) & On Board
Computer (in the front instruments set) related to OBC info is displayed
in German. I am pretty sure it can be set to other languages as it is
doable on many other BMWs I have come across. Setting it to English, or
preferably French would be much easier to live with for us non native
German speakers.
I have found in a forum that Early E32 models can be switched to other
languages by depressing the left pushbutton in the display set (the one
that normally resets the partial distance counter) for 10 seconds with
the ignition switch on position 1... but to no avail on this model.
I would be especially grateful to any one having a hint for this !
Thanks in advance,
LeapFrog

Thanks for the link, Maru, but I already had a visit there, and it does
only concern the pre-1994 OBC. The OBC I have on this car is a bit newer
one, located on the center console; it shares the MID display with the
radio, as in my X5. It is not the OBC we had on pre-94 5/7 series, that
was a rectangular box separate from other modules.
Really hard to find anything on this...
