Obtaining secrets from the Check Control (E38)

The Check Control in the instrument cluster of the current BMW 5/7series hides somes secrets. Here is the procedure how to unveil them and how to unlock the system to get access to all tests:

Turn ignition to pos. II
Push right button in the instrument cluster and keep it pushed. You will first see "Check Control OK", some seconds later you will see "Test Nr.01"
Push the left button on the instrument cluster to see the car's identification number. Add the 5 digits together and write down that number, you will need it for unlocking all the functions. Example: DG23278 will lead to 2+3+2+7+8 = 22
Push the right button until you see "Test Nr.19"
Push left button until you see the number that is equal to the one you calculated above
Push right button again
Now you will have unrestricted access to Test No.3-21. If you made an error in the procedure mentioned above, Test No.3-21 will only display Lock:ON
Most of the tests are self-explaintory, and here is a first listing (as far as I can recall):

Watch TV / Videotext during driving

This works on all 5/7 Series with the Mk. I Navigation System (the one with the male voice). On Mk II (the newer version with the female voice) you have to use "brightness" instead of contrast for TV and "color" instead of brightness for videotext to get the trick to work. I know that the trick works on latest 99 7series models as well. But I heard also that some cars sold into the US do not have any TV equipment on board. You will notice this as they do not have any TV option in the main menu. Also latest BMWs sold in Europe (2000 onward, 3/5/7 series) have the trick disabled! The only chance to get the TV running is somewhere hidden in the menu of the BMW Sevice Tester DIS. But up to now I can't thell you where. If I ever find it out, I'll post it here!

As far as I know the software update for latest navigation CD Roms does not affect or disable this trick.

Set ignition to pos. II
enter TV mode
enter "settings"
enter "contrast"
when the green contrast bar is visible, push the knob and keep it pressed
turn ignition off (keep button pressed!)
wait 8-10 seconds (timing must be accurate!)
release the knob
turn on ignition again
Now you can watch TV during driving (but always keep at least one eye on the road - that said)
