How to display the engine temperature on a Mini Cooper S R56.

Model: Mini Mini R56, R57, R55 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Instrument cluster

In this video, we see how to display the engine temperature on a Mini Cooper S R56 version (2007/2014). These cars do not have a device that automatically displays the engine temperature, but it is possible to do so through a secret menu that can be accessed easily. We need to hold down the button located at the base of the speedometer for about 10 seconds. A maintenance menu will start scrolling on the display, which will lead you to the last five digits of the VIN. You will need to add those numbers together to obtain a two-digit number. In the example, it is 17. Hold down the button until you reach option number 19. Hold it for about five seconds, then release it and enter the number you obtained as the code number requested. Hold it until you return to the normal menu. Continue to hold it for another 10 seconds until you return to the VIN number. Scroll to option 7, hold it for 5 seconds, and release it. You will arrive at the menu where you can see the temperature of your engine.
