IPK - What options should i have?

Reaper · 25th May 2010, 22:15

I finally got my new IPK pack and traffic master installed and T4'd, My ZT is an 05 with blue illuminated dials. What options should i have?

I get the Traffic master logo on start up, then i think its; second trip, miles left, mpg, average speed, max speed alert. What else should i have and how can i get it?

Thats it!!

IIRC, the later IPKs also had a digital speed readout.

I thought that was just on the V8's where they couldn't get MPG to work?

You also get rear fog light when on and door/boot open when open.
Digi read out is V8 only

In that case you get warnings of any Bulbs blown, and which one on ignition turn off,
doors open and which ones etc.

The traffic master will give readouts when you are coming up to problem areas covered by this.

Im guessing the little symbols after the speed warning is the traffic master - tm and a stepped pyramid...? Also how does the MPG and miles left work, does it gradually calibrate itself? Both just seem to keep going up; the mpg is only at 32 at the moment

If I pull the battery connections, my average mpg indication falls down to silly levels for the first 30 or so miles after reconnection. I guess it must be learning something, but i cannot figure out what. I always thought mpg readings were based on a flow sensor and the speedo input pulses. Could the learning process be something to do with the engine ECU having been reset and it really doing poor mpg until the ECU has relearned its settings?

The stepped pyramid shape is the road ahead of you - as year near a problem the open blocks gradually get filled in from the top down.

The MPG calculation itself is also refined based on historical values - this could be part of the issue.
