Re: Overhead planner use

Step 1: Set the wheel to what you want it to say

Step 2: Set appropriate date or number on numbers wheel

Step 3: Look at console at appropriate date/time to be reminded of appropriate thing that you set

There's really not much to it. They're just not that useful. But they look cool!

Re: Overhead planner use

Can we do a write up? I need to keep this handy next time I'm in my car.

LOL. Too funny. I love my 1987 TA, but for the life of me, I was so embarrassed every time new people would get into my car and I'd have to explain what that thing is. I love old 80s tech (green LCD read outs, etc) but this isn't even "tech". It's a wheel. Its like something a 3 year old would play with...

Re: Overhead planner use

Haha and everytime I think I have a dumb question someone else also wonders the same thing . I guess I felt like it somehow would do more than I knew it could do or something like that ha. Guess it really is just that simple. I'm going to use it for oil changes and me and my gfs anniversary!

Re: Overhead planner use

I use mine to remind me of the mileage for the next service on the car.

Re: Overhead planner use

I wish the reminder wheel was backlit. Fortunately, if I happen to forget this important information at night, I can whip out the nifty "Camaro" flashlight from the overhead console and check it.
