Ok, so I was reading in the G/J3 forum about how to bring up more functions on your MFA so I decided to try this. I turned the key to the on position, held in the MFA button turned the key back and then started the car up. After I did this I scrolled through the different functions and they all had crazy numbers. I tried this a couple time and each time the numbers were the same. Any idea what the #'s are...anyone else done this? Kinda cool

I have the link somewhere at home that tells exactly what each thing is.
I'll dig it up and post it later.

Stupid question??....... how do you change the time on the MFA. I tried holding the button, turning the ignition, switching from 1 to 2 modes.... etc etc, and it doesn't say anything in the owner's manual. Help!

You change the time with the two tiny buttons by the screen. You need to use a paperclip or something.

How do you turn the ignition off and then on without the car shutting off? Mine shuts off right away. and if you can wouldnt it screech??

don't put the key in 'start' again, just back to 'on'
it will catch again, as long as the flywheel is still spinning. the engine takes at least 2/3 of a second to turn off for me.

Heres what you do: *Hold in the MFA button through this whole process* 1) Turn the key to the on position so just your accesories turn on 2)Turn the key back to the off position 3) Turn the key all the way and start you car 4) After the car is started release the MFA button and you should be in the new mode.

THIS is the best way to do it!!!!!! don't try turning your car on and off and on again, I know its possible but its obviously not beneficial to your motor.

"The page cannot be found"
Anyone else having these problems? I don't have MFA but i'd like to know what this mode will show me.
