do you have the 2-line or 3-line?

if you have either of those two, you WILL have the time displayed as well as the temp. :thumbs:

if you have the GID (get with ECC) youl be able you still scroll though it with the ECC buttons :thumbs:

[BaRt]

dan what do you mean 2 line or 3 line please m8 not really up on audio lol

[spamiser]

the two line display has two buttons underneath the screen.

the three line display has no buttons and there are inly three lines of info

the GID (comes with ECC and/or bluetooth) has many different lines of display :thumbs:

[BaRt]

think i got the 2 line on dan do u mean the actual display in the car if so m8 there are 2 buttons underneath the display for changing time date etc

i havnt got a trip computer as i got a sxi so its just time date temp and radio info will the radio info disapear also as this will be on new head unit
