DME Switch (?)
Does anyone know what the light blue rotary switch inside the DME case is/does? It is covered on the outside by a rubber plug on my unit.

It's called the "fuel quality switch" usually. It switches between various combinations of richer mixtures and ignition retard. The "stock" position is the highest performance setting.
Hank Watt's posted this years ago. I'm too lazy to look it up in my manuals so... Settings for the Carrera brainbox rotary switch Fuel mix Timing 0 Std Std 1 3% rich Std 2 6% rich Std 3 3% lean Std 4 Std 2.7 retard 5 3% rich 2.7 retard 6 6% rich 2.7 retard 7 3% lean 2.7 retard Richness cools engine Lean for high altitude; Retard for bad fuel |

I think there was a thread a while back that questioned whether it actually did anything or if it was just a placebo, esp on later cars. Any hard information?

Under the driver's seat, unit is the box, relay is on the side of it.
Spare relay also good for speeding up computer hard disk, plug it into your dog's collar and it takes him for a walk

Can we tell him about using the DME relay to improve performance of the cool collar by 125%?
Or about using it to control the oven for perfect baked jacket potatoes?

How do you modify the chip settings? What does the chio plug into in order to interface with a computer? What software do you use?
My knowledge of the DME so far is if I unplug it, the car can't get stolen very easily. It also helps me look like a jacka$$ when I get inside and try to start it (to impress an onlooker) only to remember that I have to get out, slide the seat up, etc.
