This thought covers more than just the 2012 grand caravan i currently have, so i'm posting this here.
we traded a 2011 journey for our van. on the test drive, i noticed that the van's monotone "EVIC" didn't have the same data that the journey did. such as specific air pressure display for each tire... and most importantly to me... transmission temperature. i don't understand why Mopar would not include all the essential data on all vehicles with essentially the same instrument cluster. during the time, i never once considered towing with it. however after having the van, i knew that eventually we would be doing some towing with it. due mainly to the longer wheelbase and feeling more comfortable with the handling. (the journey was um.. well it liked to wander around a little)
i asked a friend of mine about the possibility of adding the "gauge" to the EVIC in our van.. or if he had heard of someone doing this. as usual with most dealer techs, he hadn't heard of this, but said he would look into it if an opportunity presented itself.
has anyone else pondered this thought?
do any of you know a sales code or other "trick" to get his data to display?
any Chrysler peeps on here that can consider this option with future vehicles?
