Want to get OBC controls on MINI Cooper 2003

Hi,I just purchased a second hand MINI Cooper 2003 yesterday. It is in great condition but I cannot figure out how to change the OBC on the display. These cars are supposed to have a little button on the left window wiper shifter thing but there is none. I have read a ton of threads and they say to test it and I did with the odometer thing. It showed that It can sho miles per hour, miles per gallon and temperature but it only shows the temp. I want to figure out how to view the MPH on that little display but this car does not have the button.
Thoughts?
Thanks so much!

Its supposed to have that button but it doesn't.

Pretty sure the late 04's introduced the OBC (the "refresh" in spring 2004 builds setting up for the 05 m/y production). Sorry, but your's doesn't have it.

Now THAT's good to know!
Opens the doors up in a few years if/when I buy any more R53's.

Thanks for pointing it out
