What do you display on your dash Cluster?

[Rich B.]

Curious as to what most have picked to display in the 4 corners and dial displays in their dash cluster?

I have:
Top Left: Outside Temp
Top Right: Trip meter
Bottom Left: Oil pressure
Bottom right: Battery level
Right Dial: MPG (redundant to center display) can't decide what to change this to...
Left Dial: Menu
Center Display: Gas Mileage which shows current MPG and distance to empty.

I have an OCD thing about showing the same info in two places so since you can get the time, temp, and compass on the 12", I do not display them on my gauge cluster.

TL: transmission temp
TR: Oil Temp
BL: Batt
BR: Oil pressure
Right: range
Left: menu (because they don't allow anything else useful there and blank means I could be seeing something there)
Center instant economy

I was using center as digital speedo but realized I was being lazy and had a perfectly good speedometer to the right. Still getting used to Ram's funky fonts, font sizing (not the same on every speed on Limited) and compressed range. Why couldn't they use more of the dial and space things out a bit more? I digress...

I really like this feature. Have changed it a couple times just to be different. Here is the current:

I can’t make up my mind, but here is what I have now. I didn’t think of some of the things you all have displayed.

I have as follows:

Top Left: Compass
Top Right: Outside Temp
Bottom Left: Oil pressure
Bottom right: Battery level
Right Dial: Disabled
Left Dial: Disabled
Center Display: Speed

Reasoning - First, I do not want anything to display that will cause me to lose focus on the road such as MPG, even average MPG. I used to have it and I was looking at it far too much. Second, I have no need for anything other than speed and compass really, but I left outside temp, oil, and battery there so it filled the blank spaces. I don't like that it's redundant to what is on the radio already, but I will live with it. Third, I really enjoy the center digital speed versus the right-oriented dial speedometer. Just preference. Last, anything like trip distance or distance to empty is just not pertinent to have on the main display. If I were doing a big road trip I would just use this as my center display. I can't see the utility in having it always accessible day to day.

I was trying to get the Compass on the 12" screen and didn't see it in any of the options? Do you remember what menu screen it is under?

Not an option. It's a permanent default on the bottom row icon. Phone always show signal strength & Nav always shows the compass heading. You just look at the Nav icon and it shows the compass heading.

Can you display what gear the truck is in?

 

[Max Limited]

You can display what gear the transmission is in. If selected it displays it on the right side of the PRNDL. When you use the "Gear Limit" button, that appears just to the right of this display. I love this as I can see exactly what gear the transmission is in and have learned at what speed the transmission shifts into the next gear.

If I am remembering correctly:

Top left: range/distance to empty
Top right: trip a miles
Bottom left: current fuel economy
Bottom right: battery voltage
Center top: speedometer
Left dial: menu selections
Right dial: average fuel economy
Center: I use the vehicle information screen "gauge summary" that shows water temp, trans temp, oil temp, oil pressure

Outside temp, time, and compass are on the uConnect

 

[HeliPilot]

Because I fly Heli's, and I am always scanning my gauges during flight, I set up each corner to display all my temps and pressures. Top center is compass, center is digital speedo, right is range and left is avg MPG.

TL: Compass
TR: Time
Center: Speedometer
BL: Oil Pressure
BR: Battery Voltage
Left: Menu
Right: Range

I'm still kind of playing around with it to see what I like exactly. One thing I did notice, however, that when I used CarPlay and have certain apps up, the time is hidden on the UC. So I added it to the cluster even though it is a little redundant.

 

[Kidder]

TL: compass
Top: clock
TR: Outside temp
BR: Oil pressure
BL: Trip
Left:menu
Right: Coolant temp

 

[HeliPilot]

Center: Speedometer

Not true in my case. It relocates the time from the top to the left hand side of the screen when I use CarPlay.

How do you change what is displayed?

Correct. It’s a standard feature of CarPlay to show it in that position. But I did have to train myself to look there when using CarPlay after getting used to the standard UConnect position up top.

On the center display for gas mileage, anyone know what the number actually means? It’s different from the mpg on the trip odometer screen. Maybe a rolling average? If so, for what time period?
