My LOCK is ON and I can't seem to unlock it
Is this where the sum total of your VIN number comes into play?
Not quite sure I understand how or where that is a required peace of information. My apologies and thanks for your patience in hopefully explaining it to me.

sly:The process seemed a little different for me. I'll post the whole process so it's in one place. I have an '07 R56. Hopefully it works the same for others.
With engine running, hold down trip odometer reset button for 12 seconds. Maybe I just count fast. After about 5 or so your oil service interval will show, but keep holding. You don't even have to count to 12, just wait for the screen to change again.
Add up your VIN digits as displayed (mine was 24). You will be in menu 01.00
Press the button for about two seconds until 01.__ shows. This backs you out of the 01.__ menus so you can cycle to other menu groups.
Press button repeatedly until 19.__ appears. Wait a bit and you'll be in menu 19.00
Press the button repeatedly to display the sum of your VIN digits.
Then, hold the button down for two seconds to get out of 19.00
Press the button repeatedly until you get to 07.__ and presto! Water temp in Celsius.
Going 75 or so on the highway mine ran from about 105C to 108C (around 210F) while the oil temp (built my own adapter in the side of the head) ran about 160 F.
Now to go find the thread where people compare water temps.
