Hi
Can anyone help I have a May 06 One D which has the button on the rev counter to change the display from Temp to speed is there any way of upgrading this to include MPG as well.

Thanks in advance.

Yes - you need to talk to your/a dealer and get the On Board Computer activated - should be around £30 or so.

Went into the dealer today, they said you can nly have this as part of the chilli pack etc..
and didnt know of any software upgrade..... :(

Anybody got any other info...????

I presume it must have the brains installed as when the fuel is down to last bars it says how far i have left to run...

The dealer doesn't know what they're talking about, or doesn't want to bother doing it.

Find a dealer who does, and wave this under their nose: http://martinlewis.co.uk/ml/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/obc.PDF

Page 12 shows the coding information.
