F10 6WB Cluster doesnt show digital MPH

creativ101 · 10-03-2016, 09:11 AM

Hi
I have tried coding and the idrive settings, but i cant get the instrument cluster to show digital MPH. It shows KM/h at the 12 o clock mark but not in MPH.

The coding to show this via the BC menu doesnt do anything either.

Any suggestions?

once coded, go into your settings on the NAV screen and check to see if it is set to MPH or Metric

When set to mph, the speedometer dial changes to kmh. Really wanted both set to mph.

that is really weird, seems like a software glitch. if your settings are set for mph (imperial) and you get one that shows kph (metric), that had to be in the software. which, unfortunately, may require a dealer visit to fix/update the software

When i change to KPH in idrive settings, the speedometer changes to KMH and digital MPH. I wanted both the speedometer and digital display to show in MPH.

It is not designed to have dual display of the same unit. That would be redundant.

Certainly a valid point, but i have seen images where it shows both in mph.

If i change the idrive setting to display digital mph, it then changes the speedometer to kmh.

I tried it on my car just now, and it only flips the "analog" dial and digital readout back and forth. Won't set both to the same unit of measure.

Certainly seems like something you may be able to hard code though.

If you ever find out how to code this I'd be very interested in it!

DIGITAL_TACHO_ENABLE = change to mph_mph.
