After that, all your digital stuff reads out in "Euro Standard" also. What temperature is 23*C ? How many kilometers is it till your next oil change?

If they do that I hope they also add the setting to make it so your headlights don't come on when you unlock the Jeep. There's supposedly a StarScan setting for that too, but I haven't been able to get the dealer to do it. If they add both of those options I'll buy a new ProCal just for those two things.

If I am not mistaken, you can change that in the menu using the buttons on the steering wheel. At least I think it's so on my 2013.... Anyone know for sure?

Unfortunately it isn't user settable in the 2008.

I would think that would be based on changes in the regulations.

Maybe... When did they say it was OK to set your tire pressure indicator to zero so it's inoperable? I'm sure all they need is a good disclaimer, like: "Only to be used in off-road situations. Never use fog lights and high beams when driving on a highway. Please check your local laws."

So the disclaimer might say: "Beware, Driving with Fogs and High Beams is Bad For Your Wallet"? Disclaimers dont cover issues that are against the law. It isn't illegal to run on flat tires.
