Has anyone had a stop watch displayed on their trip computer before?
I was having fun passing time and managed this, but don't how I did it. Also are there any other hidden features with it |

Sure it wasn't your distance to empty going down? They are like stopwatches in falcons ;)

I was sitting in the car park waiting for the missus trying to remember how to change the time when the display came up with 0.00 and something like s/watch underneath. Upon pressing another button it started timing in milliseconds. Pressed another button and it stopped. Upon pressing another one it all disappeared. It's got me buggered what I did, but am mow extremely intrigued.

Go onto fordmods.com they have instructions on how to install the trip computer, also containing details of the features they have and how to go about using them.

Checked fordmods, they had the following
Stop Watch Indicates stop watch time up to 10 Minutes to an accuracy of tenths of a second. You can enter stop watch mode from any of the above modes, by depressing and holding the reset button for a period of 5 seconds, then releasing. To start the timer, press reset. To stop the timer, press reset again. To reset the Timer to zero, press and hold the reset button for a period of 2 seconds, then release. To exit the stop watch mode, press the search button. NOTE : Exiting the stopwatch mode does not reset or stop the timer. |

why would you want this function? Its not like you'd be able to use it for lap timing... and 10 minutes isn't enough for most to get to work or anything...
Its like having a sponge next to a toilet... theres no need for it

Had to enter range setting, then it worked.
As for why you would want it, that's to see how fast those cans are shotgunned. |

a ten minute stopwatch... I guess that's because the display only does 18:88 is it? :p
It might be handy for something, who knows. |

hmmm... i guess a ten minute timer might be appropiate for measuring the 1/4 mile time of my car... :P
Then again, maybe 10 minutes wont be enough...
