Board Computer

Hello guys,

Got a quick question about our board computer in our dash. I haven't been using it for while and I turned it on for the first time today - to display time. My question is I couldn't remember it supposed to remember to stay on when I restart the car. I noticed that when I restart the car, the board computer reset to off. Is this normal?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, unfortunately with the newer software (v18 and higher) it causes your onboard computer to default as "off."
