This is a repost from F20 Addict forum.


1. Start the engine (it may work with only ignition on, I have not tried it) and make sure you have all doors and boot closed. If one door is open, it will not work.

2. Press the odometer reset button and keep it pressed until the BC screen changes (at least 10'').

3. When the screen changes, release the button. It will display a menu with numbered options. To scroll to each option you have press once the ODO resete button.

4. Go to option No. 4 UNLOCK and then press the odo reset button for a few seconds. It will enter the menu of this option and it will ask you for the unlock code.

5. The unlock code is the sum of the last 5 digits of your VIN. For example if your VIN is E123456, then the unlock code will be the number 20.

6. Enter the unlock code by pressing the odo reset button so many times required (in our example 20 times), until the number of the unlock code is displayed on the screen. If you accidentaly press the button more times than the required, worry not, just keep pressing it until it starts from 0 again.

7. Once you enter the unlock code, press again the odo rest button for a few seconds, to go to the previous menu. Now, the full unlocked menu should be displayed.

8. Scroll through all the option. Option No. 8 ''Temperature'' displays the outside temp, oil temp and coolant temp. To enter this option just press for a few seconds the odo reset button.

In general,when you are inside the hidden menu, by pressing the odo reset button once, you scroll through the options. By pressing it for a few seconds you will either enter the menu displayed or go back to the previous menu, depending on which screen you are at.

car not with me now. if have sure try and report...

but it seems like it will activate extra infos like engine oil temperature readings etc.
 
Re: F20 hidden menu

It allows you to test your display, view oil temperature, view actual fuel left in both tanks etc. Nothing much and troublesome to get into. To exit, scroll to exit or off the car.

The post said how to enable, more importantly how to disable?
Switch off engine completely (including electrical).:lol:

Otherwise, come in to KPKB why cannot disable?

For the benefit of newbies, all this so call hidden menu is previously available via push of a button on the left stalk stick.

Re: F20 hidden menu

This is useful for me when buy from PI to find out the year of manufacture of your car, especially when u want to buy "fresh from oven" units.

Juz the vin no to check will do. With Vin no, it will even tell you what option is selected.
