    Am I the only one that didn't know what this was for?

    I feel kinda stupid... After looking through Turners webpage at all the cool shit they have I found something that has been right in front of my face this whole time. And to think I was just using it in conjunction with the spark plug socket. Am I the only one??


    A good tid bit of info

      This is a first for me as well. Awesome. 5 years of E30 ownership and the cars still have surprises. I think it was year 3 when I learned I could scroll through the OBC functinos from the turn signal stalk. That was a big day.

          I was thinking the same thing, it's been almost 10 years for me. I love these freaking things.

                    Mind = Blown.
                    I'm going to try this in the morning.

                    I shat bricks when I learned the CODE function with 13-button OBC's.

                        this thread sounds like its completely full of sarcasm...

                        but its not, its really not, this is the best thing that has happened to me in weeks! i have always wondered what that damn thing was!

                          Old news! I think I've only ever used it twice just for the sake of using it.

                          But the OBC turn signal thing is new to me, details?

                              Press in along the same direction of the shaft (no homo) and watch the OBC.
