Anyway to Default to Audio in instrument panel?
Hello all, Is there anyway to default the shortcut of Audio in the instrument panel on startup instead of trip? Im talking about the speedometers "AUDIO" that shows the radio stations in the middle of the speedo needle. Mine defaults to "TRIP" right now. Thanks all!

I have not tried this but it should be possible to version code the cluster to remember the menu that was used when engine is switched off. This should not be specific to any menu and should work with the Audio menu too.

Thanks for the reply Diesel Benz,

Is this through the STAR DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM only? Please let me know and I will tell my indie to give it a shot. Thanks

Star Diagnosis or a compatible generic diagnosis tool (Bosch, Launch etc. perhaps).

Hello Diesel Benz,

I went through my system and got to the page you are talking about but it does not have the menu option you speak of "last menu..." ect.. Is this specific to region or anything? I see all the others like presafe, navi ect..

Which Star Diagnosis SW release are you using? Which MY cluster do you have in your car? Can you try these in simulation mode with your SDS for different instrument cluster versions. I could also try it with a fresh DAS, the one where the screen capture comes is an old one.

Hey any luck with figuring this out?

Looking to set the default to have the Range indicator come up on startup.

Thank you
