    Default Do i have a cheap OBC!

    First off, i just recently purchased my e34 so........... Okay, is the OBC the display where the speedometer is or is it the system adjacent to the radio. If it is the system adjacent to the radio, i only have the option to see the time, date, and temp. Do i have the cheap option! I also have a 95, so did they change the look of the obc from year to year or what? I DONT KNOW? because i wanted to access the hidden features. (If i got any)! HELP A BROTHA OUT! LOL

    the obc is adjacent to the radio. to "unlock" your obc check the owners manual... or do a quick search. then you can get to all the cool stuff.


    edit, here ya go, check this out, how to unlock.

    okay i got a comment, when the directions say to "Push OBC buttons 1000 and 10 together" what buttons are they referring to, because in my car i only have date, temp, hour, ME, and two buttons to change the time and date.

    cant find one. i guess it is the cheap version. maybe ill have to upgrade. Basically, the OBC i have has no "1000, 1, 10, S/R etc..buttons.

    Just hour, temp, Date, and ME. This is bullsh!t! LOL. but anyway, i also have another question. on the lever for my turn signals, there is a extension you can press in that looks like an open book icon.What is this?When i press it in it does nothing at all

    Kind of sounds like a 6 button OBC from an e30. Does it look like the one in this ebay link?

    yeah thats basically it, but it's just a different shape. Same buttons and all.
    So if i wanted to upgrade, what would i have to do? could this OBC work for my car?
