Default Multi-Function Display Poll

this may have been done previously but i thought it might be interesting to read what other members set as their default multi-function display screen and why. granted, scrolling to the desired function as needed is the purpose of a multi-function display, but do you have a "home page" from which you like to operate?

feel free to add your settings for the upper status & lower status areas but thought i'd keep the poll simple. this is a public poll, so your answer will be posted for all to see.

Sorry but your poll doesnt include gear shifts. That is what my M/F is glued too. Guess you can add it in at a later time. Navigation is a close second as it frees up the radio.

Same here but I added a 4th line to those 3... which at the moment is completely escaping me. Voltage maybe?

What determines which scream is on the MFD at start putting? Mine seems to change from time to time. It used to be the vehicle screen but is now the PSI monitoring screen. I don't know what I've done to make this change. I've tried to save to the key button on the door, but something else seems to determine the screen setting.

^ this + voltage (especially around this time of year in Ohio)

I had the same problem until I realized both sets of keys did not have the same setup.

Vehicle Screen is my primary display followed by TPMS for high-speed driving.

For the vehicle screen I run this configuration:

top-compass
1- range remaining (no-brainer)
2 - GPS height (I'm a pilot and like this kind of info)
3 - dist and time to next stopover navigation point (I do lots of route nav)
4 - voltage (very critical and no analog gauge)
bottom - time and temp (critical in winter to know how close to freezing it is for hard driving through the mountains)

water/oil temps/oil pressures are all on analog gauges easy to see so they seem to be wasted real estate on the digital display. Voltage is the only critical system info not on a gauge so that is why I like it. I like the compass up top because the north arrow on the big nav screen is too hard to interpret quickly because the contrast shading isn't good and it's small. I have speed limit turned off, but get it on the big screen by selecting a split screen display: map with navigation which makes the speed limit appear.

Enjoy!
