Title: perfomance monitor
Post by: D Squared on 23 May 2017, 12:35
I've read somewhere there is a series of gauges available to view, but my car doesn't seem to have them...any ideas? is it a add on via the dealer? or just certain models that have it?

Cheers

AFAIK it's standard and it comes under one of the "Car" displays. Press the Car hard button to cycle through the displays. It should be one of them. It's also called "Sport" under the Selection submenu.

I can also vouch that they are useless and you can't even change kW to BHP (what the f**k is a kW?). I only use it to monitor the oil temp from cold so I can keep the digital speed on my AID.

Second version of the infotainment system hardware range.

Its now MIB3 on the Mk7.5.

Simple way to tell if yours is MIB1 or 2, if it has menu options for App Connect (whether yours is activated or not) then its MIB2.
