speedo is in miles, lcd in kilometers. Meanwhile I changed analog speedo scale to kilometers and the speed is perfectly accurate up to 140km/h, above that speed on LCD is 2-3 khm less then what's needle is showing

That's because the LCD readout is in KM/H while the speedometer is in MPH. But they do seem to match once you do the math

So the BMW diagnostics can be plugged into the OBD connector. Will it reset the trip meter to 00000? What else have you discovered it can do? Thanks for posting this up. I did not see the end of the movie clip, as I do not have much data left to run this end.

And as soon as the IPK is configured with T4 the MPH display magically disappears

@Brian: once you configure everything with T4, copy ZCS codes, mileage, whatever you need to do, etc... THEN you use BMW Scanned and just change that one byte and you get speed on LCD back again.

Very interesting - fuel consumption screen remains too.

Erm, how did you do it?
