Post by Mav359 »

Hi Guys

Whats the difference (if any) in functionality between the white & red DIS?

Cheers

Do you mean the MFD (multifunction display) between the dials?

I think the red one added a digital speedo in km, colour 'door open' graphics and possibly a few minor position changes of info but they're largely the same. I think the white one is easier to read and looks less '1980's' too :)

when you set cruise on the white it puts the speed its set at where mileage would be

only annoying thing i have found is when traffic news kicked in you could hit ok to cancel, on white i have to scroll to audio screen and then press ok

I've found that when the traffic news kicks in I can hit the left hand bottom button on wheel to cancel. I think it's for voice commands but on my RCD it mutes the sound unless there is traffic announcement when it just cancels it.
