You are missing a lot! The OBC displays a whole long list of things. If yours only shows what you listed, there's probably nothing wrong with your OBC...You should read your car manual!

Dude! the only thing is missing is the "TIME/CLOCK" mine 2002 330CI show time why not 2000 528i show time?

:thumbsdown

Yes, the time/clock is included on the display! So is the date.
To display time, press "DSP" (I think, I'm not near my car).

When I press "DSP" it dosen't show "TIME/Clock" just a blank sreen. But on mine 2002 330CI got time

wiseman,

I just checked, I could either press the "DSP" button or the round clock icon. Time can also be displayed on your instrument panel. It's the first click on the lever, before you go thru' the whole list of display items.

I am missing "TIME"

Only display:
How many miles until you are empty
Average speed
Temp
Mile per gal

Man you kill me!! I have a 2002 330CI and I know how to use the bottom.
