Hi,
in a FB page there was the picture of the dash of this V8VS (2014)


Mine looks like this (2012)


Is it possibile change the view of the display to be able to see time and the outside temperature?


EDIT: my bad, I just read that it's a feature that came up from 2014.

I thought that if you press the button on the end of the LH stalk (RHD) the display would cycle through various display options. I thought the ability to switch the displays over to have the digital speedometer on the left is what came in around 2014. But I could be wrong as I have a 2015 V8V

Since we are on the subject, does anyone know if there is a way to remove the "Traction Control Off" message from the right display when TC is deactivated?

Just hit the "Read" button, that usually clears any message in the right hand screen.

Press "read" and it's gone, no?

On the original question. It would be cool if you could update older cars to the newer layout, I believe it's just a software difference. Anyone explored this path?
