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?

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

There are 2 on the P38, the first is reset by the button in the binnacle, the second is reset from the button on the stalk and is used for fuel consumption computation, range etc.

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.

Check if you have it in BECM Setting screens.

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

Also as you don't have a location, nobody knows if there's a Nanocom near you !!!

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.

I think you just need to check the label but the fuses. Look for the H or L in lower left corner.
