Wouldn't it be fun if.....

Post by Doggy »

Anybody know whether it's possible to modify the text of the MFD display messages :?:

Just imagine some of the alternatives you could have, eg:

KEY REMINDER......................KIss it goodbye, Moron
SIDELIGHTS REMINDER............Walking home?
AUTOMATIC WIPING ACTIVE......No intermittent - Tough
UNBLOCK DIESEL FILTER..........B*!!*cks

Or maybe change the French set to Allo Allo Franglais.....

I need to get out more..... :oops:
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)
