convoyduel Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 One of our '04 CH613's had it, the other didn't. I prefered the one without it. All the computer in the dash did was give you a bunch of high end functions, various temperatures, digital readouts of things you already had gauges for, etc. It let you be able to change selections on certain programmable items, but nothing big that I can remember. One "advantage" is that it would tell you what code was showing when lightning struck. Other than that, I just looked at it as something very expensive to go wrong. Don't recall anything about system failures if the computer display went bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However there is some decent info to be had from it some of the fault codes / fuel milage, boost, oil presure ,and ,water temps.it has a few good points. .
