Is there a way to get a digital speed display in the EVIC?

My first post here. I bought a 2012 express this weekend and I like the truck but sometimes the steering wheel blocks my view of the speedometer needle. In my Chevy Cruze it's possible to set the electronic display on a page that shows the vehicle speed in nice big numbers. Is there a way to do this on the Ram?

I used to have a Chrysler 300 and the EVIC in that car wouldn't display speed either but there was a hidden "secret" menu that you could turn on if you press 2 of the steering wheel buttons at the same time. It was kind of a diagnostic display and you could see a bunch of stuff, like throttle position, threshold for the automatic headlights, etc. One of the items was a digital speedometer display. I was kind of hoping there was a similar secret menu display that could be turned on if you knew the way to turn it on.

My 300 EVIC displays the speed...

What does your owners manual say about display options? hmmmm...just read through the owners manual...it does not indicate anything similar to the LX platform EVIC menus for the digital speedo.

No, it seems everyone with a lx misses this option. if you have the 430n you ca n bring up a big speedo with digital readout.

Heck, I'd be happy if they put some kind of time-monitoring device (clock) on it.

Guess engineering is still working on that.

Well, I guess it's not possible. Too bad, it sure is a useful display.
