I don't have any aftermarket tint or part in my car, everything is original BMW.
I tried to enter the radio menu to see if it's programmed in US mode, but no matter what I do, I cannot get into it.
I turned radio off, then on, and held the SELECT button for even more than 10 seconds. The system did not react at all. Is there any other way to enter that menu? I've read about holding the "M" key, but I can't find that on my car.
Thanks for any suggestions.
