hey all,

this might be old news to some ppl but i thought id post it anyway. for all those who hav a speed alert and see them as a waste of dash space, there is another way of using them, if u hold down the "up" and "down" buttons when u turn on ur car the speed alert turns into a digital speedo, however, the only problem is that the light keeps flashing and it gets really annoying(no beeping though). so if u cover the light or disable it, u hav urself a digital speedo. u hav to do this every time u turn on ur car and u can only turn it off by turning off ur car.

i recommend everyone try it just for fun and a laugh

Maybe post this in the how-to section? It has been mentioned a few times but the thread often gets lost. If you post it in the how-to section complete with instructions on how to do it the thread will last a lot longer.

Also you can make the digital speedo permanent by holding all three buttons while car is off, turn key to ACC and keep holding until 100 appears on the speed alert. Once it has, release all the buttons and press set once. Digital speedo will now be permanent and won't have the annoying flashing light. To return it to speed alert, repeat this process, or disconnect the negative battery terminal.

No worries mate :D

People often get flamed when they post this because its been posted a lot of times but its a great tip and every time someone posts it, a few more people learn about it.
