Just had a loaner ES from the dealership and noticed one thing I really wish I had in my car: the Info display screen. I just like how when you scroll through the different screens (IE: Range, AVG MPG, Tank MPG, etc) it keeps the current temp. on the bottom of the display.

Was wondering if there was any way to program that on to our 2IS's?

Just like PhilipMSPT said, we have the same display screen.

Just check out the car manual.

well not really, the ES doesn't get those lovely orange and red rings,and you can easily spot the center of the needles whereas in the IS it's very hard to see.

depends on your taste actually

Really? IMHO, the IS cluster looks like a jewel case. The ES one is just like any other Toyota you see out there.

But--on the ES, when the screen's not on Outside Temp, it becomes a dual display, with, say, Avg MPG on top, and OS Temp in the bottom in smaller type. I was jealous once I got an ES loaner.

But, I like the rest of the IS IP better.

I've had an ES loaner and it is nice that once you move off the outside temp full screen to one of the other screens, it does keep the outside temp 'minimized' at the bottom so its always visible even if your looking at your instant mpg for example.

Like this

you can press climate and it also shows the outside temp at the top right corner.

OIC.


Then to answer the original question: NO, the 2IS does not have that feature...

Wow. The ES350 seems way brighter than our cars.

It's not brigher, just different. The IS needles only have the light projecting off the top (front?) of the needle--toward the driver. The ES needle is all clear plastic (not just a little window on the top like the IS), so the light projects out all sides. Plus, the gauges are shiny, and reflect the light from the needles.

Personally, I don't like it near as much as the IS.

I agree, just had a loaner ES350 for 10 days to do direct comparison. Graphics on ES gauges lack sharpness of IS.
