Programming the Trip Computer

I have no idea if this is possible - but can you (or get the dealer/indy) to program the trip computer/message center to display the speed the vehicle is driving at...

Yes I know there is big Speedometer just above it, but there is nothing like seeing the speed digital...

Getting sick of looking at the range jumping all over the place and the screen looks blank with nothing there Sad

MY13 has a digital speed display. Digital speed displays are not available on pre-MY13 models.

Fit a satnav - they usually have a digital readout and it's more accurate (except in tunnels).

My car has the factory fitted sat nav but they don't display the current speed.

Sats are not 100% - you need a good lock for a good set of numbers and in built up areas you will not get that.

All said though my phone is not far off - not bad for a non calibrated device.
