    Answer Thank you very much. I will ask you one more thing.
    Is there any way to export the oil level information from the information that is exported to OBD?
    My car is an e82 120d. The sensor that measures the oil level seems to be built in. Is there no way?

    do you know how to reset or change the sound the cluster makes when an alert appears I.E low fuel, no seatbelt or fault tones. after putting an aftermarket cd player in my car the nice bong/ping noise has changed to a really annoying high pitched beep many thanks

      Don't quote me on that, but I believe that your factory stereo was making those nice sounds before. When it's gone these functions are not covered by the instrument cluster with it's default ugly sounds.

    My car is e82. Do you unlock the information you do not see in the OBD information when you show it with the video you showed? For example, now my car can not read fuel gauge information as OBD information, can you see fuel gauge information like the video you showed?

      press and hold [M] button on the radio
      ignition ON
      release [M]
      use [+] to find region settings (Europe, Japan, USA, OCE, Canada)
      use [>] to select desired region.
      ignition OFF and ON (or radio OFF and ON)
      check if it worked

    I have a problem with my 120d e81, it was all working fine, then when it got delivered to me I sat in it and tried to familiarize with the buttons etc, but somehow now whenever I turn the ignition off, remove the key and even lock the car, some lights are still on (temperature and time, radio, start button light is on, hazard light button light is on). I had to disconnect the battery. On top of that now the speedometer doesn't work, but RPM does, and the ABS light comes on. What can I do?

    • @mrfixpl
      @mrfixpl  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It's hard to diagnose it remotely but I would start with:
      1. confirm that the "some light are still on" is not a part of the "coming/leaving home" feature which turns on some lights (mostly exterior) for max 90 seconds.
      2. if you have a warning message on the instrument cluster LCD display, check the CC-ID code of that message. you'll find my video about that
      3. connect with diagnostic interface and check for fault codes.

  • @JezW137

    I need to read an FRM fault code - I've got a bulb warning light coming on and can't see a bulb that has a problem. So I need to access 03 I think. I managed to unlock it but then couldn't get any further. Not sure what to press once I've entered my VIN number to unlock the menu. I got to 03 and all it showed was "CODE DIA 0008h 08d0H". Any ideas? Thanks

    • @mrfixpl
      @mrfixpl  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think that producers know better what you need and apparently you don't need to know engine temperature. If it's cold then ECU will not let you rev it high or put much load on it. If it's too hot, you'll see a warning...

      After switching the ignition off everything is back to normal.
      Engine icon supposed to burn when ignition is on but the engine is off. That's normal. If engine icon is on while engine is on - then you need to check fault codes in your car.

    • @mrfixpl
      @mrfixpl  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      According to BMW you shouldn't be able to check the coolant at all. This is hidden menu and it's not described in user manual.
      If the engine is overheating you will see warning message but still you don't have access to the readout which makes hard to diagnose issues with thermostat stuck open.
