Not sure if the same on the later models, but on the earlier display which is what you have - same as me
Hold and press the top grey bar from the home screen for 10 seconds, then hold and press the left top corner for about 4 seconds and it should bring up a pin code pad.
I did this the other day as I was trying to watch a new bike rack on the tow bar, but couldn't get in as I had forgot the pin code.
Anyone remember it?

Got to ask ... What does it reveal? Can't look at mine ... Going to be at least a couple of weeks before I get back to UK by look of things..

Only useful thing I can see is voltage, the rest is a bit above my techie pay grade. Just going to follow voltage on a trip and compare with ciggie socket display, just to know what the difference is.

You can access the rear camera all the time which could be handy.
However I think once selected, it stays until you turn off the car nav screen.

That's would be interesting on the motorway at speed, which for me isn't that fast, like something out of Star Trek.

The only other "secret squirrel" thing on earlier D4's is the 4X4 display. A normal selectable thing on later ones, but no option on the likes of my 2010 vehicle. But it's there.
I've got a note in the car how to access it, but it's dark and scary outside now. But from memory, I think you turn on the ignition (but not the engine) then select one of the off road modes and it comes on. You can then start the car and hey presto. Think that's it. Expect someone will come along shortly to correct me if not.
