Especially too many electronic gadgets. In the manual, I found the programming on its page 2-46 and it goes to page 2-51. This section is for programming a RDV without a DIC. Every time I read that section, I feel like David H on that old Night Rider TV Show, who's always playing with the buttons in his KITT car. Sure wish they made things more simpler these days. Perhaps if I ask my 12 year old son to program it, he'll figure it out. After all, he fixes our home computer all the time. Especially when it comes to building Web Pages. Adn he changes both clocks in our vehicles when our Time Zone changes. LOL!!!! Wish me (wish us) luck re-programming "without a DIC system"!!!! Sure wish they made things simpler these days... .
