E-diff on D4

When you're going through some awkward terrain there is a little graphic on the screen that displays the diff locking and unlocking, at least thats how I know its there. :angel:

I also think you can get the info by punching your VIN into Topix or something similar.

My D4 only has the basic screen which amongst other things does not have a driveline display function.

The electric motor is mounted on top/front of the diff and can be seen when peering over the top of either rear tyre, with a better view obtained when at off-road height. There's also an electrical cable between the body and the motor. The view is better from the drivers side and a torch may be useful.

Edit: If you have registered with Topix and you can get the vin then the vin can be used to show the build information.

You don't need an ediff on a D4 unless you are hardcore 4wding, with all the gear.
The capability of the D4 in standard form is incredible, you will need tyres and a lift and snorkel before you even contemplate an ediff.
Standard the D 4 leaves modified 4wd's in its wake, and this is not a biased comment.

Pretty sure no as I've sat in ones with out the ediff and there is only one lock in the centre, mine has the ediff and it has 2 locks, but i could be wrong. Although I'm 99% sure of it.

If you have the display both locks will show whether you have an e-diff or not. By the display you can only tell when it's working. I know cos I don't have an e-diff and both locks show!

Without an e-diff the display for rear one never changes to locked.

I can tell you the ediff makes things much nicer when it gets serious :)
