Xen: I guess it would be more accurate to say it will not come out of sleep mode when the key is turned to on or the car started. Pushing buttons does not wake it up, only unplugging the cable and plugging it back in which removes the power from the device will bring it back on in the high temp condition. It has never shut down while I am driving but I always run the a/c so it doesn't get that hot in the cab.

Something else I noticed this week is that my 14+ mile trip to work is registering as under 10 miles in the "trip-distance driven". After I noticed this I reset the thing to defaults and re-entered the required information. the distance driven function is still 30 something % low.

Any problems like this with scan gauge?
