secret navi menu on most honda cars

[Phillycivicsi]

anyone with a navi in their civic try this
press and hold in
menu setup and cancel
after 3 seconds a another menu shows up where u can see the yaw rate of your car and tire calibrate
i dont know what they are but its there
also u can check ur xm radio status cd player status etc...
has anyone already tried this before and wat the hell is yaw rate
lol
its pretty cool but dont mess with it unless u no alot about cars
because my friend is a mechanic and he said thats for the mechanics at the dealership so they an see how ur car i running
let me know what yall think

Yaw is the motion of turning pure left or pure right.

I wonder if that yaw rate thingy is a G force meter..
i mean, the car already has accelerometers for the VSA. IT can easily output the reading from those accelerometers.

Just a wild guess..

check this site out. Maybe Honda senses where the car is going by sensing the g forces and speed. So the nav stll "kind of " work when GPS satellite reception is bad.
