Default Trip Computer

Hey All,

Just wondering what features the trip computer in the WQ Festy has. Also how it works i.e is it in the middle of the dash or somewhere else....

Cheers

Only distance to empty, apart from a clock which is on the stereo anyway . Middle of the dash, so not the most convenient for resetting the trip meter.

If you get a XR4 you get trip odometer, distance to empty, avarage speed and L/100km.

So would that just be programming or an extra module?

I remember seeing a post on here once before that showed a way to change the trip meter to give about ten different functions, but can't remember any more about it. I actually never tried it either, so don't know if it worked. Anyone know what I'm talking about...perhaps it was April 1 at the time...dunno

My LX has a really basic LCD screen, just simple digits counting down distance to empty. Perhaps the XR4 has a better equipped LCD screen that does other info?

Can you install an XR4 cluster and it has the info?

or will you have to login into the computer via the ODBC and change stuff!!!
