[attachmentid=6443][attachmentid=6443]Has anyone ever seen this on their MFD? Note the missing 5 minute readout and the extremely low 1st 5 minute reading. This has happened 3 times now. I have a 2007 with 1800 miles, Coastal Tech EV mod, and the Lockpick 3 installed.

yup, you didn't travel far for the first 10 minutes in cold weather...the ICE ran, burned gas but you covered little distance. Then you hit the main drag and FE stabilized.

I'm suspecting that the missing 5-minute bars are during times when you are using the override features of the Lockpick. To override the bluetooth lockout (and/or navigation lockout if you had that feature), the Lockpick temporarily disconnects a signal that tells the MFD that the vehicle is in motion. Doing so can temporarily mess up the 5-minute readout bars.

Yeah, I've seen that. Not recently though. 30ºF? It's been a long time since I've seen that. Is this a local thing only in Tinley Park?

You fly a Gulfstream and are worried about some missing bars :P

I've seen it on my wifes 05 and my 06. Yep, sitting still, ICE running (easy to do in FL in heavy traffic on a hot day).
