6-Button OBC Fitting...

Couple of things on this:

1. Is there anything in particular distinctly different between fitting the 6-button OBC to the 13-button (as per the Wiki)?

2. How would I know if I have an OBC relay?

3. Being just a 6-button, do I need the coding plug?

4. As an aside, if I was to use this opportunity to replace dashboard bulbs which ones/types would you advise I should get?

Thanks...

Dash bulbs are 1.2w capless...

£1.08 each from BMW
£1.09 each from the local parts shop
£2.25 for 10 from the same local parts shop.....


I needed two,so bought ten,I still have a few left,I think.

Cheers daimlerman.

Might I have read a post suggesting to replace with 3w bulbs...for improved, eh, brightness?
