• Rotate controller, 3 notches to the left

F30 without navigation, or with Business Navigation

The instructions are basically the same, but instead of pushing the controller in the up direction, which is not possible, you need to push the controller to the left and keep it there for 10 seconds. So the instructions become;

Call up Start (main) menu
• Push controller in the left direction for at least 10 s
• Rotate controller, 3 notches to the right
• Rotate controller, 3 notches to the left
• Rotate controller, 1 notch to the right
• Rotate controller, 1 notch to the left
• Rotate controller, 1 notch to the right
• Press controller once
• The Service menu is now added as the last submenu to "Settings"
Cheers for that, but I've already worked it out now I have my car! I'm sure it'll help others. In fact, I've videoed the instrument test (system test) in my "media harvesting" session for a reviewing thread I will create at some point. Pretty colours!
