Trip computer upgrade?

[EddieH]

Hi,
Pardon my ignorance ... when you upgrade to NTG 2.5 (from Audio 20) does this then give you more functions in the computer. At the moment I only get basic trip info. and would really like the consumption stats.

If this has nothing to do with NTG 2.5, is there a way of upgrading the computer bit?

Thanks.

Not sure, all I can say that on my car - 2006 C-Class W203 - all the computer features you mention were already thee before even upgrading to NTG2.5.

In fact the only thing that was added on the instrument cluster display was the navigation screen, showing the arrow direction indicator and street name and distance.

Perhaps you should check your car's manual for the correct operating of the steering wheel buttons? If have pressed all the correct buttons on the steering wheel and the display does not change to show fuel consumption etc then perhaps there is a fault with the steering wheel buttons or with the instrument cluster display.

Computer menu for 2008 SLK. It is from the USA website, but should be similar to UK cars. (Includes mpg, both from last re-set and from daily start). Full details are in your user handbook.
