Ahhhhh, just mentioned the language thing as it's a common problem with counterfeit sat nav discs.
What make is the aftermarket headunit
I had a dynavin in mine.
Could be an idea to unplug the headunit and see if it reverts back to English.
They have been known to revert to French when using non OEM discs.
I'm guessing when you say speedo you are referring to the check control in the speedo binnacle

Just pop the SD card out and try that first, never heard of an aftermarket headunit causing the language to change.
Look into hidden menu menus on the internet for the X5, maybe it's just reset the car to a default German setting , maybe if the battery has gone flat.

What is a "spedo"?    Do you mean "speedo"?  Where is the "language" appearing?
