The first time I tried this, it didn't work. Next try, I left it at 2011 for a day. The display then read 'Maintainance Required........' 1. Set year to 2011. 2. Reset maintainance. 2. Leave it for a day. (see above) 3. Now reset back to 2008. If I missed something, try again. It worked for me on the second try. Thanks again _____________________________ Would Odin drive a Saab? (in reply to Roto) Post #: 7
