R56 Trip computer displays

Is there any way of getting the display on the rev counter to have the MPH read out in the top display with the instant mpg in the bottom one? Doesn't bother me as I tend to use the central dial, but its annoying Andy

I have mine Display the Speed in the Big Display and Temp in the smaller one not sure if you can have instant fuel consumption - I'll have to try that, but to get the speed press the button on the end of the indicator stalk until the MPH is displayed in the bottom Display ( 4 times I think) then after a time the MPH will display in the to box in the Rev Counter and outside temp will display in the lower sorry at work and manual is at home - Car in the car park

Steve, as Mike said, I have mph in the top box but outside temp in the bottom one + tripometer

As above

Yeah, Andy has the mph read out in the top display, but doesn't want the temp below but the instant mpg read out

that can be done all you have to do is keep pressing the button on the end of your left hand stalk whilst you are driving and you will see the instant mpg shown,does take 4 or 5 presses,but would do it while driving as if stationary is hard to tell if its the right setting or not.

but how can you set it so that the instant mpg read out is in the bottom display and the current MPH is in the top display?

You can't. There are only 5 or 6 pre-set toggle options for the displays, and that just isn't one of them. I just have the OBD display always on in the centre speedo screen for MPG, av speed, miles remaining, etc, for the occasional glance. I have to have speed in revometer screen though as I refer to that more often and don;t like always having to look at middle speedometer.

I didn't think it could be. Thanks for that. And yeah, I pop that on as well. As I say, its more my other half who wanted it
