Accessing the menus
To access these hidden menus (or service menus), you have 2 options..
Option 1
Turn ignition on, or start your car
Press and hold the button to reset the daytrip/odometer for 10 seconds
Option 2
Press and hold the button to reset the daytrip/odometer
While keeping this button pressed, insert the key into its slot, and release the button
At this point the BC should display data in a "XX.YY" format. So if the BC displays "01.00", that means Main Menu 01, sub menu 00
To continue to navigate the menus, you need to use again the daytrip/odometer button (hereafter just called 'button')
While the display reads XX.__ press the button repeatedly to select the main menu option (XX)
when reaching the desired main menu option, wait for 2 second for the display to read XX.00, at this time pressing the button will select the sub menu (YY)
To go back to selection of a main menu (XX), press and hold the button for 2 seconds, until it shows XX.__ again.
To leave the hidden/service menus press and hold the button for 10 seconds, or remove the key.
At this point, the available main menus are 01, 02 and 19. To access the remaining menus a code is required.
This code can be found under menu 01.00 and needs to be calculated as follows from the VIN number. Say the number displayed is XX12345, you take the last 5 digits (12345 in this case), and add them all up, so 1+2+3+4+5=15. Meaning your unlock code is 15.
To enter the unlock code, go to main menu 19, and wait until it asks for the unlock code. Now press the button until it reads your unlock code (15 in our example), and the display will show 'lock: off'.
Now all menus are available.
Pretty easy actually. The main trick, is to not take too long before you enter input, if you wait too long, the thing timesout and takes you back to the regulare readout.
