Consumer Description
A LOT OF TIMES WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND COME BACK TO TURN IT ON THERE'S NO DISPLAY FOR SPEED WHAT GEAR I'M IN MILEAGE OR FUEL. THE ONLY WAY I SEEM TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT WORK IS TO POP THE BACK HATCH AND DISCONNECT THE MAIN POWER FROM THE BATTERY. SOMETIMES I DO THAT 20 OR 30 TIMES BEFORE IT WORKS.
