-tdmsu: If you use the Navi mpg, you'll be cheating yourself out of a mile or so per gallon, in my experience. Better to go with one of the two trip odos (they started out off a bit as well, but have since 'calmed down' to within 0.2 mpg of calculated actual (mi / gal used). I still think best is a manual calc, and that's what I use.


-Eric: Agreed w/ 'eternity'... the worst part for me, is that you can't select the 'audio' or 'info' sections until that disclaimer appears (maybe the 'A/C' as well; I don't recall).

$100.00 gas certificate to the person who hacks this interface and:

a. Stops the disclaimer from appearing / forcing acknowledgement...every...single...time

b. Makes the 'audio' and 'info' sections accessible sooner, which will require...

c. Making the Alpine unit boot faster (requiring a firmware / ROM change, and thus, impossible via software)


But, hey...if you manage to do it, post here. Your gas certificate will be waiting

Sometimes we could all use a little less
