Does anyone have a list of all the text messages that can appear in this window. Curious to know how sophisticated the entire system is based on the messages it can publish.<BR> <IMG SRC="http://www.swedespeed.com/ubb/confused.gif"><BR>

Other than the usual 'door open' or 'trunk open' messages, I've seen it say the front right low beam bulb was burned out (it will tell you when parking lamps or turn signals go out) to one day later when "SRS Sensor failure, service Urgent" popped up when the airbag sensor quit. It will also shut down the engine when the coolant level drops too low, warn when the master cylinder has failed (reported by others).<P>In short, there are lots of things.<P>
Yes, there must be hundreds. I was hoping for a complete list or documentation. Why should the car owner have to wait till the message comes up. I'd like to know all the systems the computer can monitor. I haven't spoken to my dealer yet, but I'm sure they won't be of much help.

Great work on the languages thing, now who'll step-up to the plate to publish the text message list (completed) in English please.<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by T5 Dave:<BR><B> Canadian/French Display<BR> Language<BR> <BR> Danish Display Language<BR> <BR> Dutch Display Language<BR> <BR> Finnish Display Language<BR> <BR> French Display Language<BR> <BR> German Display Language<BR> <BR> Italian Display Language<P> Japanese Display<BR> Language<BR> <BR> Portuguese Display<BR> Language<BR> <BR> Spanish Display Language<BR> <BR> Sweedish Display<BR> Language<P>Plus US and then UK 'english.'

I'm surprised, seeing as how Sweden is physically closer to the UK, one would have thought the english would have come from there. <P>But I'm glad you were able to translate.<P>I remember snippets of a poem years back when I was in high school in Brussels and I can't remember the whole thing. It starts:<P>"Oh to be in England, if for only 'alf a 'mo.<P>For when they speak of wireless, they mean the radio."<P>I only remember half lines after that, but it goes on to delineate the major differences between 'english' across the pond. I have no idea who wrote it but I wish I could get a copy.<P>Enjoy your T5SE.<P>
