You mention light bulb arrays in the OBC display. My 840Ci display is dim on left side and out on the clock. What are the bulb arrays, individual bulbs for each pixel or a screen with switchable lenses? One time the clock came on while I was driving and appeared to function correctly while it was on. I have not looked into pulling the display as I have no info on first pulling it or secondly what I could do after I have it out. How do you pull it? I guess that would be a start.

The BMW Service Rep said I needed to replace the display, at something like $325.

Can you read fault codes on the OBC? How?

: Hello!

: I got a tip how to change the language on the OBC and it went fine. Now i would like to know more about the things i can do on it! It seems to be a code for every parameter in the OBC. Can anybody tell what the other codes are, and what do they do?

: I also checked the fault code from the ASC, and it gave a 7(front left wheel sensor). I understand salty roads can cause problems with the sensor, can i wash it, or fix it in some simple way? Is it an optical or magnetic sensor?

: The left side of the radio display is dark. Do they have 'ligtbulb-arrays' to light it up as on the OBC-display or LED's? Is it an easy operation to change them?

: OK, that's a lot of questions, hope somebody can help me though! by the way, the car is a '92 i.
