This is a disappointment.  I have a trip computer in my 5 year old
bimmer and all features function as intended (including the range=
miles-to-empty).  I was unhappy when we shopped for my wife's 1993
90CS and the trip computer wasn't available as an option.  Too bad
Audi hasn't fixed this.  BTW, are the trip computers being discussed
implemented in the Audi as they are in the VWs (display in center of
display cluster, and controlled by button on end of stalk)?
