RAM settings question - info line

[Blind Dog]

Amongst the settings for the dashboard centre display accessible via the steering wheel buttons, there's an option called Info Line. The choices are 'Audio' or 'Time'. Can't see either of these things being displayed anywhere. What is this 'Info Line?'

 

[Grams]

Select “Time” and you’ll have a digital-clock appear at top/center of your cluster.
Select Audio and you’ll see what radio or sirius you are listening-to.

 

[Blind Dog]

Yeah, not getting either...

 

[Grams]

Select “manual”….. and read it.

(that was meant to be kinder than it may appear)

 

[Blind Dog]

You mean the manual that seems to cover every single RAM model in existence and yet somehow manages to avoid providing any useful information on anything?

I'll give it another go, but I'm not holding my breath...

Yeah, not getting either...

I believe it may only be on one specific screen but not sure as this is the first I'm hearing of the option. What year is your truck?

 

[diymirage]

Its because that entire set up is retahded

It ONLY show when you are in this screen

As soon as you choose 'vehicle info' or 'speedometer' that info disappears

Ahh, thank you. I hadn't noticed that. Wonder if I can re-arrange those displays with AlfaOBD? I usually have just the vehicle coolants displayed, but a clock would be nice. Some of the options do seem a bit ridiculous. I mean, there's a digital speedo, but what's the point of that? There's a pefectly good analogue dial permanently installed right next to it!

That’s for the kids these days that can’t read an analog clock… or Cursive handwriting….or count-out your change to you at the cash-register….or “dial” a phone number….or sit across the dinner-table without using their smart-phone….or….
