    Just got my PIP and have 2 basic questions that I can't find answers to: 1) Is there a tripometer in addition to the odometer? 2) Is their a dashboard insert location for the key fob.

    Help!!!:confused:

    For the trip odometer, hit the DISP on the steering wheel until you see Trip A or Trip B on the MFD (multifunction display). To toggle between Trip A and Trip B, while on the trip screen, hit the TRIP button on the steering wheel. To reset it, press and hold the TRIP button while on the specific trip odometer you want to reset.

    There is no place to insert the fob. If you should ever need it to start the car with it, you hold the fob next to the start button and it will allow you to start the car. (page 592 in the owners manual)

    Congratulations on your new PiP!

    There is no dash insert spot for the key fob.
    There are two trip meters.
    Open your owners manual. :D It's a bit of a dry read but worth it.

    You can also put the PDF forms of the manuals on your iPad for on the go reference . . . Obviously you're not referencing AND driving simultaneously. It's easier than lugging the tome with you.
