Default accessing digital speeddometer

Both my diesels have a highline set of clocks. One set is a replacement and I can access the digital speedo, the other I assume is original but does not
display the digital speedo, I think it has an alarm when a preset maximum speed is exceeded.

Does the digital speedo need T4 activation?

thank you

Don't think T4 can activate the digital speedo but TOAF certainly can, I've done about five or six local cars. (BMW scanner can activate it too).

Ian and Mike,

It can be done with T4. I've had it activated on my car.

I ran the anti malware this afternoon (had enough of it reminding me) and it kicked the ipk software completely into touch.

interesting.
I'll need to have a chat with cb750 chris as he set the clocks in my tourer. I got them from a scrap yard so he had to configure them for my car.
Hopefully chris will come onto this thread. I'm not complaining about chris's work just wondering why my saloon does not have the speedo

Hi Ian,
As Brian says, the digital speedometer cannot be enabled using the T4.
However when I did your replacement IPK, I coded it in using the t4, then manually enabled the digital speedometer afterwards (as it seems silly not to have the option available).
If you want me to disable it on your tourer, or enable it on your saloon just give me a shout and I will sort you out.
Regards
Chris
