I love my factory brake gauge: more than 50% braking and the dash starts squeaking

Re: P80 esoterica thread
Well -1998 cars don't have a light, but you could probably turn it on with VIDA with '99+ cars. I haven't tried it yet.

Re: P80 esoterica thread
A service light that only reminds you for 100 seconds after startup to do nothing before going back to sleep is a feature most modern cars certainly lack.

'99 S70 "AWD" - 220,000+mi - part out

Re: P80 esoterica thread
Can confirm that VIDA can activate the cruise control light... however it appears mine doesn't work. Shocker... lol

Re: P80 esoterica thread
Probably because cruise on ME7 is fully integrated into one unit - the ETMbmdubya1198 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2019 8:05 amWell -1998 cars don't have a light, but you could probably turn it on with VIDA with '99+ cars. I haven't tried it yet.
So how do you know when cruise is loaded, but not activated, on a -1998 car? I thought an indicator was mandatory..

Re: P80 esoterica thread
I guess they assume you'll just look at the switch! I've always thought it was odd that the older cars don't have a light.
