Replying to: olivarulez (Jul 28, 2008 10:06 am) If you read through the posts in history out there in one of the Outlander subj titles (maybe this one) someone came back and told me at one time the Aux input is part of the Rockford Fosgate package only and not part of the regular 6 CD player. (they didn't have an Aux input jack)   I absolutely love the clean sound of the RF sound package with the sub woofer, but you would have to decide if "flying blind" during the day is something you could live with I've learned ro live with it, but Mitsubishi really should do something about this display (it's also used in their other vehicles with RF sound system).   A few other nits are the mileage computer always resets itself if the vehicle is left idle for over 4 hrs. (so you have to drive a few miles with it telling you that you are averaging say 9 mpg, before it finally catches up again and displays what you currently are getting (pretty accurate once you get to this state). I also found you can't reset the oil change mileage indicator to zero. It seems to always increment forward (so it will ad on something like 6000 to 7500 miles to the current display. If you bump it again by mistake it will increment yet again with no way to go back (at least that I found) For some people these flaws are unacceptable and I understand, but other than that I really like my LS 4WD (I preferred no rear seat and regular profile tires on how I use my CUV so I didn't get an XLS and saved some $) Replies to this message: toomanyfumes (Jul 28, 2008 3:05 pm) comem47 (Jul 29, 2008 8:02 am) toomanyfumes (Jul 29, 2008 2:16 pm)

Replying to: comem47 (Jul 28, 2008 11:13 am) comem47 how do you reset your oil change indicatior? I also have an '07 LS 4WD with the sun and sound but without the NAV. I've asked on this forum before and got answers from people with the NAV screen.   My oil change indicator shows a wrench and the word off, and it has since I bought the vehicle.

Replying to: toomanyfumes (Jul 28, 2008 3:05 pm) fumes,   the procedure is documented in the owners manual. I don't have it handy at the moment , but from memory you get to the wrench icon with the car off (I believe key is in, but not on) and depress the button for a few seconds so it flashes and then you do it again. Once again this DOES NOT RESET the mileage, but rather will increment the service interval reminder by several thousand miles. Not worth the effort in my book and maybe something you don't wish to do anyway. The dealer may have a secret way to do an actual reset with a scanner tool, but I don't wish to travel to them each time for an oil change when I'd rather put in my own synthetic oil at far cheaper prices. There is also a mode you can get into where you set the parking brake first when you activate the wrench icon to change preferences, but I tried it for the fuel computer and it gets automatically reset to the factory default the next time you turn the car on anyway. (I was hoping to place it permanently into manual reset mode to keep the thing from resetting automatically after 4 hrs) This system is very unfriendly with the defaults chosen and I refuse to pay the dealer, even if they can custom tweak it. (my wife's Malibu is a very user friendly system when it comes to this and Mitsubishi should take note) Replies to this message: toomanyfumes (Jul 29, 2008 2:16 pm)

Replying to: comem47 (Jul 29, 2008 8:02 am) Thanks, I'll try. I tried going by the manual but didn't have much luck. Like you said, not a very user friendly system. I've had the dealer change the oil but they never set the display. I want to try to change the oil myself because the last two times I took it there I had to go back because the oil was leaking.
