Instrument Cluster Display

Is there anyway to make it stick to whatever mode it was on before you switch ignition off? Mine switches back from Audio to Trip. Very annoying.

I hope there is. Our ML bring up the display that was up when the vehicle was shut off (only a couple of displays are shut out - like water temp). I, too, would love to figure this out. I wonder if it's a dealer setting...

If you turn off your ignition at whatever your display was, it will appear at the same display at startup. at least that's how my car is
