Does anyone know what the extra 2 functions are that 10 function trip computer jhas over the 8 function one? I assume one is clock. Since replacing the original head unit on my TJ Advance 2002 (did not have MP3 connection point) I am missing the clock function which was on the old radio. On aftermarket HU I am always having to press the button to display time.

Mines the 10 function, and thats the 10 functions :P (not in order) clock is above the climate control unit in the console

does the TJ have a rest reminder in it?
(annoying 2hour thing - it beeps at you until you a) dissable the feature completely b) stop and put the car into park / turn the engine off)

i know the KL does..

i think its a good idea, and if more ppl listened to the coffee cup then there would be less crashes, but i digress. When i drive to the in laws (2.5 hr) i just turn it up from 2 to 3 hrs. I was caught out once and i pulled over, got out had a stretch, it was a good idea.

so do the TL's have 11 function trip computers? ive never really counted.

as a side note, can you reset the fuel economy meter on the TJ series 1? i know you can on the series 2 where the display is in the dash but mine is in the bit above the vents.

On my KJ S1 I just go to the Total Time part and hold down both the up/down button and it resets to 0:00, also resetting the Fuel data aswell.

yeah - lights up in an orangish sorta colour, its kinda cute.

and the TC beeps at you as well every 5mins or so - until you stop and turn car off.

i turned mine off before i even owned the car! LOL

cool feature in theory yes - but i would have taken a LOT more time to get home on boxing day if i day mine turned on - 12 n a half hour drive back to the coast from mackay - i would have stopped at least 6times!

why wasnt it on the TJ? any ideas?

Maybe part of safety upgrades with the KL? Side airbags, rest stop reminder, etc. Something along those lines?

Would the 10-function trip computer be the one that became integrated with the odo from the TJII onwards?
