I am trying to help someone out. I am trying to determine how I can find the software version on my F10. Any suggestions? I have combed the on-board screens.

I tried them all without success. On the E60 there was odd sequence of buttons that you could push to get into the cars operating system software. I was hoping that someone knew that.

? Call up Start menu
? Push controller in up direction for at least 10 s
? Controller 3 notches to the right
? Controller 3 notches to the left
? Controller 1 notch to the right
? Controller 1 notch to the left
? Controller 1 notch to the right
? Press controller once
? The Service menu is now added as the last submenu to "Settings"

Thats from the CIC manual given to the dealerships during training.

Your welcome Rudy, It was actually posted on here by another member a short while ago. You may have noticed the controller sequence is identical to the on for the CCC and M.A.S.K service menu.
