P38A Trip computer on P38

P38DieselOwner said:

Hi everyone,

so I have a 1997 P38 2.5 DT that doesn't have a trip computer, but I also have a P38 2.5 DSE I am using for spare parts and the stalk on the DSE is the one that has the trip computer functions. I want to have the trip computer in my DT. Is everything I need to do just change the stalk and enable the trip computer function with nanocom, or do I also need to change any other parts?

I thought all cars had a trip counter

Just change the stalk, nothing else to do, did the same on my LHD P38.

Just a thought, it may not work if you have a low line BECM. If it works you will also get by scrolling through the functions, average fuel consumption, range and average speed.

Should be on a label on the BECM ?? Do you have stuff like memory seats or mirrors ?

No, I do not. I have the full HEVAC, cruise control. That is it. Thanks for the tip, I'll check tommorow on the BECM.

Hi again everyone, I have checked and I have an L so lowline, but I noticed that the DSE with the correct stalk also has a lowline BECM. Now I am wondering, what difference is there between lowline and highline?

I wouldn't worry about the differences, you seem to have the evidence that the trip computer is present in Lowline, I was unsure. I'm surprised that Lowline supports cruise control although it is mainly a function of the EDC. Every day a learning day.
