Electonics Issues

[SnoopDrag]

I recently found when toggle through my guage with the left hand green thumb switch on aN 08 d8, alt 15,000. I found I could adjust it down to 12,500, but regardless of the elevation I rode, it stayed at 12,500. Does anyone know what this is for?
Also, while playing with this (you would think it was brand new) I remembered the service msg is still there when I scroll through the modes. What does this mean and how do I get rid of it?
Lastly, did I tell you Mr. Novice took his first ever Brand New Sled to the dealer last year for the 50 hour tune up, and the tech spent 5 minutes smelling the gas tank and 2 changing spark plugs. They called this a tune up and charged me $225.00 USD. Is this really what Polaris Industries recommends as customer support?
BTW, dealer has absolutely no clue about guage service msg or ALT display. Go figure. I'm looking forward to you answers.

New Machine

It's not that new. After 2000 miles, I finally stopped long enough to look down and check out most of the display and figure out what other info I could get other than temperature. It is the only guage I ride with. What mode(s) does everyone else ride in?

I believe if you want the altitude feature to work, Polaris sells a barometric pressure sensor that you can purchase and install.

Yeah the altimeter is on the menu but to have it actually work is an added option.

The altimeter display requires a barometric sensor to be installed, optional accessory from Polaris. Same with the outside temp option (which I did install).

The connectors are built in to the wiring harness, but you still have to buy the accessories.
