My O Bi wonConobi tells me all sorts of lies!!!!!!!

I think it's a case of sitting down with the owners manual when your'e not going to be disturbed for an hour and learning how to set/reset/calibrate it. I never have, too many other things to do on the car.

Anyone ever figured out how to use the alarm? Can input code for mine AOK, but when I turn off ign. and turn on again it's back to square one.

The gong sounds good when it's cold outside though.

Too true mate

dude the OBC is a funny piece of kit. the mpg is an average from when you first install it to when you reset it. you could do 1000 miles and it would give you the average of those miles, not of the journey you have taken. You need to reset it each time you start

As for the miles left, that varys each time you switch the ignition on and off in conjunction with your driving style; if you rag it it decreases mate, then sometimes increases when you restart the car

this is certainly the case with my OBC anyway

My obc's the same, what i did was get to the top of a long and steep hill (I think you know where this is going ) and reset the obc consumption, low and behold the average mpg is way up and has been for a week. Childish I know but thats just me
