   Hi,
I have a 325ci, 93 plate, with an obc that let me know when bulbs have gone and fluids are low! The display on the front is going, quite hard to read now.  I was thinking of buying a used one, or getting one from the scrap yard, but will it be compatible?? Is it "Plug and play" or will it need some sort of configuration?? 
Are they easy to swap over? Can an novice do it?
Cheers
