Yes there is a procedure to unlock the secret functions of the OBC, try the test function 19 and enter the sum of the day and month of the obc date (as for today 07+05=12) and then press S/R, you should have all functions unlocked.

Hope this help

I finally tried Thomas' fuel consumption test and, just like Stu's results, mine flipped back to date when I pressed the S/R to see the results. So I checked the other posters on this and there doesn't seem to be any obvious correlation as to whether it works or doesn't work! Why are 3 of the 10 not getting results? Any ideas? Is there some lock/unlock codes or something else that must be entered to release access to the inner bowels of the beast?
