No prob! Glad you found it useful!

Changing the value is easy, just push and hold on the correction display and it lets you change the 1's digit, then push and hold. Repeat for 10's, and 100/1000's (they are set together ranging from 07 to 12).
As a follow up, my first tank after setting the corrector to 960 shows even a larger error.

So, I think the formula for the corrector is (reported / actual) * 1000.

After the first tank with the corrector set to 960, I set the corrector to 1040.

With this setting, my reported mph was only 0.2 mpg higher than actual.

My corrector is now set to 1045. I'll monitor for accuracy for a few tankfuls. I realize that they are never going to match exactly.

"To bring up this menu, press and hold the trip reset button between 10-12 seconds, with engine or ignition on. Ignore the engine oil reset opportunity and keep the button held until the menu appears.
Press the trip reset button to navigate.
Hold the trip reset button to enter and exit menus."


If you want any other videos, do please give me a shout! My car's spec is in the link on my signature if you're after a specific feature, but it's got most stuff aside HUD.
I'm going to try and get some more of High Beam Assistant doing some very cool stuff tonight, but I don't have a mount (and/or a GoPro!) so I can never take the most stable or professional looking video - but I'll try my best!

My YouTube name is the same as here, SomeRandomer123.

Enjoy!


Can you repost the video without the music so EMI will not take it down?

Is the video back up anywhere? I got the EMI blocked message when I tried

I think my mpg is being estimated at 5-6% over so if I can reset this to a better level I'm all for it

Not yet, I will re-upload this weekend. Been too busy recently and am still away from my computer at the moment. Where's best to upload to? I can't be assed editing and taking the song off - that was just what was playing in the car at the time.

Sorry, I've been away and then busy catching up on everything and on;y just seen your reply.

Apart from YouTube my knowledge of where to upload these videos to would be very limited.

Any chance you could just outline the steps needed to reset the MPG to a more realistic level? If it's too complex to type out don't worry

Make another video without music and post to youtube? That would have stopped this thread months ago.

Hi,

I can't unlock the Hidden menu of my 03/13 F30!! I enter the Unlock menu by holding the day trip button, I put 29 that is the sum of the 5 last digits of my VIN, I hold the trip button again, and that returns to the beginning of the hidden menu, and it is not unlocked!!
Any help please?
