Workshop and Engineering Menu

Wanted to start a thread to capture Tips/Tricks and useful information folks may want to share about Workshop and Engineering Menus.

I learned that in the Workshop menu you can adjust the Headup Display image like a TV image - 15 different ways to make sure it appears square. It also has configuration storage slots and test images for it. Unfortunately no adjustment for focus.

Workshop: on dash
Set dash display to main odometer (current miles / total miles)
Press and hold the 'OK' on the left and "phone pickup button" on the right of the steering wheel together for 3-5seconds

Engineering: on Comand screen
In the screen where you have display off on the right bottom and settings on left, click the dial down the rotate to left to settings, the push the dial to left (further) and hold.

There youtube videos on both which may be easier to follow.

The only thing useful i found so far is the calibration of the HUD.
You can also reset the service indicator, but since my car is under regular maintenance i don't want to mess with those settings.

Yeah - HUD calibration is cool but nothing else so far

I was looking for the splash screen change but haven't found it yet
