Instrument cluster settings

adem.csl · 24-05-2017, 10:22 PM

On my e46 compact and coupe when I press bc and set my trip computer to show range,I switch off the car.the following morning or day night I start up and it shows range as I previously set it
On my Csl I start up and get clock time.i scroll through to range which is what I like to observe.i switch off then go to start and it reverts back to clock time.
It doesn't reset the clock to--:-- it shows what ever time it is
My question is does anyone know how to set it to memories the range setting I want to observe?both other e46's keep range if I turn off at range,if I set it to mpg when I turn off when I start up its n mpg.and so on so forth but Csl will revert back to clock

Interesting, i think mine does this too. But since i don't own any other E46 i thought its normal behaviour. I will try to keep an eye on it the next time i take it out for a drive.

Found out the battery of my csl is flat

.. so have to postpone the investigation

Im thinking perhaps BMW engineers forgot about the memory function when they pogrammed the CSL oil dipstick feature? Or perhaps it has a technical reason. Im thinking this is a perfect case for tom to investigate on.

What?do you think it's every Csl then?
I will try get zkmi to drop by so I can check his out

Unless there's a small battery in the cluster like the old e36 e30 had
I've got an old cluster I'll look at at work tomorrow
