Default What pin is numbered what here???

Trying to jump pin 5 and 13 to change the language on the digital dash. Problem is I cant tell which is which. Any clue as to how to read?? I have added what I THINK is correct if someone can confirm before I smoke my computer. Thanks!!!

I agree with Andrew.

Be careful 7 & 5 is the ejection seat

Is this to turn on the dashboard diagnostics?

I took a length of wire and folded over the end and jammed it in there. Worked for as long as I had it in there... be careful.

Ordinary wire is just fine....

Solder the ends so you dont have a bunch of frayed wires & you can get the size so its a resonably snug fit...

This is odd...I crank the car. Jump the pins. Pull on the stalk for 3 to 6 seconds...nothing. When I push I get PORSCHE on left DIAGNOSE on right and nothing in the middle window. Lifting the stalk displays a A in the middle display..us like a turnsignal and A changes to B...again and B changes to C and so on. Nothing about Language. I toggled over to L in the diagnose and it test the LHS and motor surges....so L is not Language. Any ideas???

Do you have the digital dash instructions or are you winging it?

You need to install the jumper before you start the engine.

Edit: Just read you last post... what exactly are you trying to do?

This is what I get by jumping 5 and what I think is 13 and I PUSH...not pull on the stalk.

OK... just read the linked post. If I read it correctly, only US cars can be switched to another language. It also said that if you disconnect the battery, it should revert to its original language.

Is your car a euro?

What happens when you disconnect the battery?
