Default Sport Chrono Dial Moves

Had the car a couple of years now and not until today did I realize there are three position for the dial face. Toward the driver, straight, and toward the passenger. I never even thought about it, but bumped it today while cleaning.

Come on, I can't be the only one who did not know.

You are the only one, I'm sure!

I made a suction-cupped GPS mount for my Garmin, and stick it to the Sport Chrono dial. Works great.

I would imagine many people found out it moved by trying to yank it off.

Sorry CBnAT, but I sat down and read my manual. ;-)

Great! I actually like the sport chrono dial, but funny nonetheless....

I figured it out after owning the car over a year; I thought it was broken when I first saw the dial facing me

It is that wart that I like to light up once in a while when I drive during the night to impress my friends. I realized that it moves within a week of ownership.

I read the manual when flying to Zuffenhausen. Everyone should take the time.

How about the storage in the armrests?

While we're at it don't forget those four little flaps along the seams in the four corners of the roof?

Check 'em out. There's a little space underneath. Good for smuggling stuff and getting caught.

I tried to mount the standard suction cup on the SC dial but it was too large. How did you customize yours to fit on the dial?
