Smac01 12 Report post Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) Right, this is my dumb question for the day. What does 'Alarm' do? When 'on' is selected, that icon appears in between the date & time. Thanks! Edited June 1, 2011 by brunch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hotwire 352 Report post Posted June 1, 2011 That's funny Simon, I haven't seen that one. I see by the display it is still with the Jap nav unit connected so may be something to do with that. Maybe an audible alarm in the car? I haven't played with a Jap setup for a long time, ditched that years ago in our car & when doing conversions - I just remove the Jap nav unit without looking at the screen options. An alarm in a Jap car is very rare, I have heard of one but not seen for myself. Certainly I have not seen that in the display with a Euro (NZ) nav system fitted. With Euro nav - the screen graphics and options are different Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwiland 3 Report post Posted June 1, 2011 Is that not to control the ""alarm" that gives a beep one minute before the hour to let you turn your radio on to get the latest news etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smac01 12 Report post Posted June 1, 2011 Thanks Grant - no wonder google didn't help. Kiwiland, potentially, I've got no idea! Driving to Taupo on Friday so I'll see if that happens. It definitely doesn't seem to be an alarm in the normal sense of the word.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jochen 4 Report post Posted June 1, 2011 What does 'Alarm' do? When 'on' is selected, that icon appears in between the date & time. It's the MEMO function A few beeps before the top of the hour to remind you to switch to the Radio and listen to the news. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smac01 12 Report post Posted June 3, 2011 Unbelievably.... Actually I don't think Mai FM does the news. Still waiting on my Radio Module from eBay. So... was the news interesting? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
