OnBoard computer language ??
I'l did find some wery interesting things on this site:
http://www.homeofsbc.com/E32_Overview/Hints/hints.html

But when I tryed too change the language (from Germ. - Eng)it did not change...
I'l did come too the step where I should press function "11" in test mode, and the readout should be: "LA" (Language). Instead the readout was something like: "12.07.1988".....
What am I doing wrong ????

Changing the OBC display language was easy...

Try this, it worked at my car

The right hand button on the instrument (speedometer) panel has two special uses:


With the ignition key in Position II (radio and OBC on), pressing this button for about 20 seconds gives the next language. Releasing and pressing again cycles thought the languages (ENGLISH-US, ENGLISH-UK, FRENCH, ITALIANO, ESPANGOL, DEUTCH) with wrap around option.
Note: Not all languages from function 11 can be selected and there are some interactions between setting the language this way and using the OBC function 11. Combination of a DEUTCH language with a LA-J setting in the OBC gives a English-US nationalisation.
