New ED30 owner - settings help required!!
« on: 17 March 2010, 12:13 »
Hello All

I picked up my much anticipated ED30 yesterday and am absolutely thrilled with it!!  :laugh:

Just one thing I cannot seem to work out at the moment, so hoping you can help

I have the DVD Sat Nav and have noticed that as a consequence I do not have the stalk end control for the MPG (trip computer)
When I drove the car for the first time it displayed the MPG which was great

Now though it shows a static 25.5 MPG with a symbol like a zero with a line through it and the number 2 above.
I have checked the manual but cannot work out how I change the display

Can anyone help me out as I am probably having a senior moment here (or just plain thick, delete as applicable)

Thanks!!

Mark

Does is still have the larger round button in the middle of the bottom of the stalk...? Hard to explain something so easy!

It's marked on the stalk with something like   "OK // Re-Set"  ?

Press that and it should go back to  1.  :nerd:

'1' being 'live' MPG
'2' being continuous MPG
MKV GTI | Reflex Silver | 5-dr | Anthracite 17" | Manual | Highline MFD | Cruise | Revision 'D' DV | Dirty Pipes |

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

The two things are mutually exclusive. All Golfs have the ability to control the trip computer, regardless of whether a satnav is fittedor not.

As above, the stalk on the right hand side has a toggle up/down which goes through the trip computer, either cycling forwards or backwards depending on whether you press up or down. There's a button at the bottom of the stalk which is used for resetting the mpg reading.

This is what you should have:



It is the stalk on the right hand side of the wheel. Present on all MK5 Golfs as far as I'm aware.

Hi Stealthwolf  :smiley:
My stalk does not have any control other than for the speed of the windscreen wipers
All controls for the trip are through the steering wheel controls only.
That was why I was so confused intially as I thought there must be something on the stalk, but there is not.
All is fine now though as I have been able to adjust things accordingly Thanks
