Hmmm... interesting. So the board computer information is technically there and working correctly, just the instrument cluster isn't receiving it or displaying it properly. I haven't seen that one yet, new problem to me. But the cluster communicates to the radio controller through k-can, can bus connections. Which does throw communication faults stored in different computers, but the only diagnostic equipment that can communicate with those modules and diagnose the various bus problems are the dealers GT1 and DIS+ computers. might mean paying an hours labor charge to get it diagnosed properly....

Well, just because I haven't seen this problem before don't mean the thousands of other people on this site (even though just a couple dozen actually post) haven't had or seen this before. You could wait out some more possible info, especially seeing that it is just an annoying inconvenience than a priority problem. Maybe you could play around in the "Online WDS" link at the top of the page and dig around in the wiring schematics and system descriptions for some more info.

i agree with weasel (and if he doesn't know the answer, odds are you might have to get it looked at since he knows his stuff, there is only so much diagnostics that can be made without seeing the car)... anyway, it sounds like there is something funky going on with your cluster not receiving the signal, if you are able to reprogram the options that are displaying on the cluster, maybe try to reprogram it to show nothing and then program it again to show what you want, see if the issue is in the computer or in the cluster.. i too have never heard of this but give it a shot and maybe that will help us pinpoint where the problem is

i can't tell from your prior posts, did you try to see what is programmed to show up on the cluster? because you can program what appears there and what doesn't, it is possible that it just is only programmed to show up the MPG consumption. Personally I only have mine programmed to time, range and MPG..
