Torque pro (or another app) with a phone/tablet and OBDII reader. Lots of different phone mounts available.
No, the dealer is extremely unlikely to enter into a custom project like that. If you find someone to do it, it would likely cost much more than a small tablet and OBD II reader. Just the labor to run wires from the 12v battery to inside the cabin would cost more than the tablet solution.All I have is a "flip phone" and don't want to have to use that type of system for this...I was thinking 3 gauges kind of thing...would the dealer be able to do something like that? Japan shouldn't have "shorted" us on something as critical as that.(?)...should be able to click on systems then select item/s...(that would have been to easy huh?)
These type of messages pop up automatically on the instrument panel display. A duplicate of some messages also appears on the infotainment screen, but they don't pop up in the middle of the screen like they do on the instrument panel, instead a one line header for the message appears at the top of the infotainment screen and you have to tap on it to view the message. And it seems to me that a lot of messages appear only on the instrument panel, but I can't say which ones because I generally only see messages on the instrument panel since it is more likely to get my attention, even if I am not looking at the instrument panel when the message pops up it still catches my eye.Thanks 2002, actually very nice they give a pre warning on the coolant temp.
I assume this will pop up on both screens?
