I have just fitted a new battery to my E53  got the S5, all works great BUT i have now lost the clock and other bit off the dash (just below the speedo) after disconnecting the battery. Is there a way of getting this back up ?

Press the button on the end of the stalk - or is it just that they are not in the list. If so, think it's press and hold and they all appear on the satnav screen with a tick box next to them.

Press the 'BC' button on the end of the stalk - I think it's on the indicator one from memory.  That will cycle through them until you find the one you want.
