Rob™ Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 Can it be set to the radio station too? I seem to remember that on the 987.1. I use the wildly inaccurate miles to go option, it’s up an down like... I’m sure there’s a saying 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things like a “this trip”‘distance, average speed and consumption” and if you have nav time to destination etc. All fairly standard stuff, few more bits if you have sports chronos as well if you run the stop watch it will log your route etc. (Only just got a car with that and yet to play with it ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At start up, when a cold engine will use a lot of fuel, it gives the distance based on that. As the engine warms up and uses less fuel, the distance can go up. After all your MPG can change from say 15 in heavy town traffic to 30 at cruise, and the computer can't know where you are going to be driving.😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
