Silly me, didn't see that you had the updated D2.
The only other mod I may do one day(no rush tho) is to fit a switch to allow the option to turn it off for when the constantly on volt meter gets too much.

ps. I put the LCD for the 1Gauge up in the blank face(rear of the interior light) on the roof console.
Perfect fit. Mine was already chopped out from a previous owner fitting a compass there, so no harm in trying that.
But one day I'll move it more forward to the forward most blank plate to make it easier to see read(less 'eyes off the road' time).

ah yes I recall reading your thread on the 1guage install. that was a neat location.

I had been lurking here for a while as I was looking at the various cars. SO I have had a bit of time to read up.

Wrt to the flashing trailer light on the dash it is probably due to the additional indicators in the bulbar putting sufficient load on the circuit that the car thinks the trailer lights are attached.

Indeed. I put leds in my bull bar and the trailer light stopped flashing.

Just chucked the D2 Milford cargo barrier instructions in my drop box.

Your dash looks so different to mine. I don't have a grab bar for the passenger and I don't have the rotary HVAC selectors. Are there other differences? it seems odd to have these differences on the D2a's or is there a a trim difference? HS or HSE?

Thanks

That's because it's a D1.

I get a few customers that have D1s and think they are D2s, because the early D1's had different dashes, lights etc and people think that the update D1 is the D2, remember when D2s came out and people were calling them D3s.

Earlier D1 at that... No passenger air bag.

Aahhhh I've confused the dash pic with the D2a pic.

I'll blame the lack of sleep and the drive from Canberra for the brain fade.
