Hi,

My OBC has never been in english since i bought the car. I tried holding the bottom right button down on the consumption screen... nothin changed.

On the code screen there are 4 dashes. Date/time screen also has dashes followed by german.

Can some one please tell me how to change all this so it works properly please!?

If you press the consumption button and you get the L/KM reading,press the small recessed button at the bottom right of the obc with a pen or other small pointed object till the display shows M/G(which refers to UK MPG) then go to the time/date screens and press the recessed buttom again till you get 0000 on the screen, then,using the buttons marked 1/10/100/1000 input the time/date
1= the 1st number
10=the 2nd number
100=the 3rd number
1000=the 4th number

so if you want to set the time at 8.45am you'd press button marked 10 eight times,the button marked 100 four times and the button marked 1000 5 times then you'd press the small recessed black button again to store the time

Same goes for the date,except you have to input the month(1-12) then the date(1-31).

eg. 2nd march would be 0302 on the display once it's been set

Perfect... i was being fairly simple before this post... thought i was pressing the small button enough. Evidently not. Thanks for the help!
