how do you change the temp on obc to read degrees C not ferinheight, i dont really need it i no its bloody cold, but can anyone help me please.

Post Sat Dec 10, 2005 2:26 pm

you cant dude, really annoying though.

you can either have everything else european and temp in C or everything readable (ie:miles, mpg etc) and have temp in F.

Buy a 6 button OBC...much better!

Yer on the 6 button you can turn a little 'thing' on the back. The not 6 button being superior mush surely have the option?

Didn't quite understand that!

Sorry, i don't even remember posting that! I think i meant to say that if the 6 button obc is cheaper than the 'full' obc, then surely the full obc should have all the stuff the 6 button obc has (i.e. able to change to degrees centigrade) and exta on top of that. Having typed that i may be wrong!

No, 13 button does not have the facility to change over! 13 button is the poor mans obc!

Post Sat Dec 10, 2005 9:53 pm

. So there is a 6 button, 13 button and another one as well?

There is also the anologuen clock, and the rare digital clock, which was fitted to early E30's

Thanks, wish i was a moderator! Took me a while to work out what you had changed. Didnt know you could do that!

OBC is better reading Fareneit degrees, because these are about half the size of centigrade degrees. This gives almost twice the resolution.

The 6-button reads in 0.5-degree steps when set to read centigrade.
