Can anyone please tell me where I can get a comprehensive user guide for my 1988 320i Cab OBC?

I have read on the web that there are other hidden functions available, like finding how much fuel is left in your tank (Press "1000" & "1 " Buttons together). But I can't find a good user guide anywhere!

Would also be interested to know if anyone knows of any other hidden functions!

Many thanks.

about "hidden" features of th OBC.

Press 1 and 1000 and it will show the remaining fuel in your tank in liter.
Press 1 and 100 and it shows the number of the coding plug (can't remember that one exactly just play around a bit)

but that's all hidden features I am aware off.

Thanks mate. But what I need to know is how to get the damn OBC to read the fuel in the first place. When I check the OBC "Range" it comes up with ---- !!!!

Do you know how to set it or reset it.....whichever?!
