    This must be for the 1st gen. In step 1 it says to switch the key in the ignition to position 1.

    There is something similar for the 2nd Gen...trying to locate that info now. From memory I think it was to hold the ODO reset button for 12 seconds or some such thing. Add up your VIN digits, enter that at some point and then you get access to the menu.

    A quick search turned up a Youtube video.

    This is pretty scary for me to attempt but the idea is great! Maybe I will screw up the guts to give it a try:fingerscrossed:
