Just like former BMW’s the 1 series has a hidden OBC menu. This can be accessed with the car started or “on”. Make sure you read the bottom instructions on how to unlcok all the menus. Below are the instructions and menus:
For ‘navigation’ in the menu’s, use the ‘mileage reset button’.
To get IN the menu’s push that button for approx. 15 sec.
Keep it pressed until you get the “01.__” in the display between the RPM and speedo-meter.
“XX.YY” means the menu-numbers.
If you want increase the “XX” part, push the ‘mileage reset’ button for approx. 2 sec.
As soon as you see “XX.__”, you can increase XX by pressing the ‘mileage reset’ button.
Every ‘push’ increases “XX”. If you want to increase the “YY”, when the display shows,
for example “01.00”, then every ‘push’ on the ‘mileage reset’, will increase the “YY” value.

That UNLOCK stuff is also important.
If not UNLOCKed, you can only see menu’s 01 and 02.
In the ’19’ menu you must ‘click-in’ a unlock code.
That code you can calculate from the “FGSTNR” number.
You must add the last 5 figures of that FGSTNR number. for example:
: XXXXXX12345 the unlock code will be: 1+2+3+4+5=15
20.YY to 23.YY There is more to discover……
