I'll have to check that out - thanks for the tip! <chuckle> Will have
to be careful of reading any codes in my car that way: the odometer has
a bad connection and so only a partial display sometimes. To me is a connection
issue - either one end of the cable or the other. One car
shop nicely told me they couldn't touch it because of federal
regulations (OK, I know some people used a drill to turn over the
mechanical odometers to make the miles look low); had to take the car
to the dealer for a different issue some time later so asked: they
immediately wanted to replace the entire dashboard assembly.
Follow-up. The other car does not have an AUX/ON-type position. I
didn't try mine as too cold out there!
