Dash aux gauge persistence

[sl8anic]

Can someone chime in on persistence of aux gauge selections (trip 1, trip 2, my mustang, temp/mix/pressure, etc.) in the dash across power cycles?

In my car I keep trying to have Trip 1 & Trip 2 to be available/scrollable without going into settings on (almost) every start. Car keeps dropping Trip 2 selection (it actually seems to reset to default gauge selection when it resets), weird part is that I don't think it happens every time, just most of the time. I keep trying to figure out what triggers the reset to default selections, but no luck so far. My current thoughts are that it has something to do with changing modes a few seconds after the car starts and before belt warnings disappear, or if I shift it into reverse at just the right time.

Or maybe I'm just not reading the manual correctly and it is a normal behavior. Same/similar thing for the "dual" zones for the HVAC, it keeps resetting to a single zone

Have you set up a profile and linked it to your key fob?

Yup, I have setup a single key and linked it. Been that way for a while.

The individual gauges (readings?) are programable at least to the point of which mode you're using (Sport, Normal, etc.). Others here have mentioned settings don't stay where they're set, and that is true (sort of) when you receive an update. But even with an upgrade, only the color resets in my 2024 EB. The right hand optional display I set up over a year ago has never reset.

I went as far setting up gauge list the same way for ever single mode - bloody thing still went back to default.

So I gather gauge selections should indeed be sticky and not reset to a default view after a restart?

They're supposed to. I say this, because mine do and always have.

Oh great, lol. Ok, thanks for the confirmation.

Ok, an update.

So it looks as if the issue has to do with profiles. I made one and saved/associated it with one key when I got my car home. After trolling througha whole bunch of posts I came across a thread that mentioned profiles as being an issue with seemingly related symptoms. So I went ahead and disabled profiles.

And wouldn't you know it... Three days and counting and my gauge settings are persistent! Haven't tried to re-enable profiles to see it break but it sure looks like it has been my issue.
