Sorry Merlin, misunderstood your question. My EVIC does not clear itself when changing from one screen to another, e.g., changing from the 'English' units to Av MPG I get '34 nglish' and so on. Also Av MPG only reads whole numbers, never any decimals. Dealer says they are waititng for a 'fix' from Chrysler, but I have been waiting 7 weeks now!

Hi Merlin. Received a letter from Chrysler UK MK today after I complained directly to them about the ticking and EVIC problems.
They say that there is a new software flash available which will solve the problems in the EVIC.
Also confirmed that engineers in USA have completed their investigations into the ticking noise and are currently working on a fix. I would be interested to hear what you learn at your meeting.
They glossed over the Gracenotes release, saying they don't know when the next launch date will be. Didn't comment on it already being several updates behind in a new car! Cheers.
