Not enough power :(

sure is On urs hold down mode and set and turn ur ignition on, if u keep holding u can start the car and it'll display while the cars running, at 1st u'll hear a beep and then a serial number will pop up that'll tell u that ur in the hidden trip menu, press mode 2 scroll through until u find ur volt readings.

as said tho its still handy 2 buy a multimeter 2 check and make sure the readings r the same.

Cheers man, a piece of handy information I shall hold onto.
Yeah plus having a multimeter on hand could come in handy at some stage. You never know
till you need it and don't have it lol

ur car has its own volt meter already via the trip computer so no need 4 a seperate gauge unless u want it 4 wank factor?, Tho still always best 2 check with a multimeter 2 make sure its accurate and u can use it 2 test that regulator of urs.

It's not for wank factor, its a valuable tool. I like to use my trip computer, and to check how many KM to empty, how much petrol I have used, overspeed etc, so for me it is not practical to hold down mode and set every time I start the car so I can read my voltage, it is a lot more practical to have a dedicated voltmeter.

I think he may be referring to big #### off gauges? lol
idc what people think i will most likely be getting a volt gauge so i
can watch it without opening the hidden menu

also I am putting 2 ways in my rear doors sweefu...just for you haha

i never knew the trip computer had this volt meter thing, and you need to set it every time.. id rather just get 1 where i can see the voltage when ever i look at it, i agree with sweefu here.

y do u need 2 keep an eye on the volts so much? u'll only need it 2 make sure things r working how it should then after that y is it there??? specially after uve done all u can 2 stop voltage drop i dont see the point. its like putting a monster tacho in wen uve already got a factory tacho haha pointless.

Yeah thats true...they aren't expensive though and would add a little more to my dash

actually that is a good question

Personally I just want the blue led stinger one to match my already blue interior
lights...Surely it wont be frowned upon?

 

[wrx884]

im not frowning upon them man was just pointing it out but as said its 4 looks (= wank factor lol) doesnt mean u cant have it

Oh haha! yeah mine will be more for wank factor then practicality
