Default It's home.... and a couple of questions - 09-06-2008 , 01:10 PM






Picked up the 'wagon today and couldn't be happier with it.

I've bid on a set of 2002 handbooks / manuals etc. on eBay, as mine are
in some odd script.

In the meantime - a couple of questions.

Firstly, does anyone have a scan of the infocentre instructions? - I've
kind of worked things out, but I need to change the date and want to
know how to switch between trip A and trip B. (At the moment, it's
apparently OKTober)

Secondly, will a phase 2 head unit just drop straight into a phase 1
car? - I've bought a Kenwood bluetooth / iPod / CD head unit which I'll
probably fit tomorrow, but Mrs. H has just asked if I can put the OEM
Blaupunkt in her phase 1.

Mine has shown Okt since new (during October!!). You might expect that there
would be a software upgrade at a service, but aparently not. I just put it
down as an 'alfa' thing - makes them unique. Its not a major problem. Wait
until the next leap year, then you'll laugh - the extra day is added to the
start of the year, so while the 'date' is correct, the car thinks its the
wrong day of the week for 2 months!

To switch from trip A and trip B - you just press the little button on the
left (indicator) stalk. It cycles round all the trip computer stuff. You can
turn on/off the trip B in the main control panel (only available when not
moving). Trip B seems to reset after being parked for a few hours. Trip A
seems to reset infrequently (not sure when)!.

Trip B resets after at least 2 hours have passed since stopping the
engine.
Reset Trip A: with Trip A data showing, press and hold Set for more
than 2 seconds.
Reset Trip B: with Trip B data showing, press and hold Set for more
than 2 seconds.
To cycle through Trip A data, then Trip B data: press Set repeatedly.

Trip A, also known as General Trip, will reset automatically after
9999.9 KM or miles, when travel time is 99:59 hours:minutes, or after
connecting the battery.
