    Default BC Remote Display

    Just wondering what everyone has displayed when they depress the BC remote display by pressing the directional stalk.
    I cycle through:

    -Time of Day
    -Avg2 (fill-up to fill-up; avg1 is oil change to oil change)
    -Range
    -Temperature

    Very handy feature. Only bummer is having to reach over to push the CODE button to turn it off. Too bad it doesn't go off with the last push.

    Here's how to program instr cluster LCD screen

    Programming the instrument cluster's LCD to display OBC functions when using the turn signal stalk:
    1. turn on ignition (position 2)
    2. press the turn signal lever toward the steering column and hold for 3 seconds until PROG 1 appears in the display
    3. Press the desired OBC function(s) you want to appear on the LCD display (example, I only have time, temp, and range programmed into my LCD display) The order in which function you pick will be the order they appear when you use the "remote" method.
    4. press the S/R button on the OBC to set your "program"

    To cancel the programmed info on the LCD display...press the turn signal lever in for 3 seconds until the PROG 1 appears in display...then press the S/R button on the OBC.

    Pressing the stalk on the instrument cluster (little Check Control stalk on the right side) extinguishes what's displayed in the LCD display...or you can press the CODE button on the OBC to extinguish the LCD display.

    You're all lucky to have BC on your indicator stalks. I'm missing that on my 525i

    Is it possible to program the Tests into the remote display?
    It would be interesting to have instant fuel consumption, voltage or vehicle speed there.

    NO..... Not possible.

    The most instant you'll get are time, range and outside temp.

    You can see your instant mpg using the mpg gauge!! LOL!

    yeah i thought so....
    the mpg gauge is actual pretty accurate, but it very often disapears above the 3.0 mark..
