Temp and miles but I often get depressed to when I see how many miles I have, my husband say it is no big deal but I think that it is a lot though.

1. The temp should be in the center console displayed all the time next to the clock.

3. Distance to empty should be separate with the gas gauge or at least on the same screen as the rest of the info.

I alternate between Odo/Temp and Trip Comp, depending on length of drive.

Trip and outside temp. Does any one else notice that the temp reads very high? Mine must be off by 5 degrees or so.

I forgot about the trip computer in nav. I am going to give it a shot. Hope I don't juice the nav. I think the trip computer is worth whatever might be lost. I only occasionally use voice commads.

This is what I do. The temp is especially valuable during the winter, since if the road temp is 32 deg F or below, that calls for extra-careful driving.

Trip A & Temp.
I'm sure it's in the manual but figure might as well ask while I'm on the board but how does one reset the trip computer?

Press the Select/Reset button for about one second. This will only reset the data shown, but will not reset the oil life or maintenance reminders.

I've just bought an 04 TL/navi but mine doesn't show the signal strength nor battery life of my phone although HFL still works. The phone is a telus UTstarcom XV6600 PDA phone w/BT. Any idea?
