Hey For the Mini Is having the on board computer any diffrent Than not.
Obviously you dont have the functions but Is it just in the software or are there Parts that would be needed to Make it function....
Its like adding controls to the steering wheel where you buy the controls then flash it to recgonise them or whats the deal there?
Anyone know?

 

Are you asking:

" I don't have an OBC, but I want one. Is the OBC is just a software change, or do I need to buy a hardware component?"

 

Here you go.....
