obc question.

They say that the little button on the turn signal can switch through your obc display, however mine only gives me the outside temp and the speed. I really want to see the range, am I missing something? I dont know for sure if my car has the OBC but they say even if it doesnt you can still get the range feature?
Any Ideas of how I can get it to show up?

Sounds like you do not have the OBC from the factory. Those are the only displays you will get.

You might get more information if you tell us the year and model of your MINI as things are different in various model years.

you can retrofit the OBC, that way you can obtain the information you seek.

The OP has the button on the stalk & gets temp & speed. That means all the parts are there. He only needs a friendly dealer to program it for him. Easy....
