Trip computer activation
 

Thanks to _Kansei_ for the tip on activating the DIS and to enganear for the notes about changing the radio. For me, _Kansei's_ trick did not work (2008 iTouring, 2.0). I saw the DIS display light up as the instructions indicate, then I turned off the engine. However, when I restarted the car, nothing happens when I press ":00" (no INFO button on my car). I noted that the DIS lights up for only a few seconds then disappears, so maybe that toggles it back and forth from ON/OFF. So I thought maybe I wasn't turning the car off fast enough (e.g. while DIS is in the ON mode before the display goes blank again). That didn't make any difference.

My conclusion is that there must be certain cars in the production years that have this capability (like enganear mentioned about it maybe having some connection with the radio itself). I don't have a solution. I have a 6 CD changer already. Seems odd though, that I can SEE the DIS option, but after turning car off then back on again, nothing is different when I try to access the trip computer with either the "SET" button on the steering wheel OR the ":00" button on the radio itself.

I'm open for any suggestions, but I think I covered all the possible options...unless there is a trick I have not thought of?

It worked!
 

I can’t believe it but it worked on my 2007 3 sedan Touring! Thanks
