There is a way to change the language.....
I will tell you from memory but I may be wrong. I will try to find the post talking about all of the "undocumented features" associated with the OBC. First hold the 10 and 100 (I think thats right, its the 2 number butons on the right side of the 4 buttons, The top and bottom number buttons on the right side of the 4) Geez that was hard to get out, any way it will say "funktion" or somthing similar in german. You will press use the "1" button to get "02" to appear (i think its 2) and press the "set/ reset" button. It should read "sprache" I guess that means language and you can change it by entering different numbers 1-9. ----- That may be a little off but if you play with it you can figure it out. Oh and if it goes blank after you press 2 and set reset the unit is locked. You have to unlock it by entering a numer and then set reset. I want to say it is 16 but i really cant remember. Then you have to add the time and date together punch that in and hit set reset to unlock the OBC. I know, I know its the dumbest thing of all time. I will try to post a link to a write up on it because some of what I said may be inacurate. Good Luck
