If you have navi, hold the SET and NAVI buttons together for about 4 seconds and you will get into a secret menu. Not much to do in there but check sensor signals and such, but it gives you something else to mess around with.

This is off topic, but all evo VIII-IX sold here have speed-sensing wipers, it's just that on the VIII-IX it only works in intermittant mode. Try putting it in the fastest intermittant mode...there will be a pause between wipes below a certain speed, and past a certain speed, it will become continuous. Even my '03 VIII has it, which was one of the first to come off the boat...

Ok I admit it. Im a gadget freak. This being the case I have spent a lot of time going through all the menus and checking stuff out on the X's Nav setup. In doing, I thought it might be good to share some things about the most advanced car Mitsu has ever built.
- You can change how your FAST key system works in the settings menu. Doing this will change how the doors unlock, what the unlock time is, etc.
- You can change how the variable wipers run. There are settings to have the variable speed based on car speed. This actually works really well and is fun to tune. Heh, tuning windshield wipers, I must be getting desperate for an ECU unlock
- Fast lane change blinker settings are also available here. This allows you to barley touch the blinker switch and it will blink 3 times then automatically turn off. Great for those short lane changes and prevents you from looking like the idiot that forgot to turn his blinker off after turning. Is he turning here? No, here? No, Here?...
- Voice changes for the NAV system. I have decided to name the voices. For me the Female (named Ms. Bushi) is too hard to hear, so I went with the Male (known as Mister Bushi) and things are going well. The Nav voice is still too low even on max setting though
- You can set a home location for your GPS system so you can have 1 touch button access to get back to where ever you set it too.
I think theres even more stuff, but I havent fiddled with it yet. Anyone else finding some cool stuff?

To bad the screen for navi dosent show engine vitals then the car would be a real nice sleeper without having the need of guages like the r34 and upcoming gtr35 have and that would step up the evo luxury a bit not needing guages. Thats something mitsu should consider in the future for us mod freaks, besides the evo X's other flaws.
