Default Satellite Signal Strength

I seem to remember someone posting that signal strength was viewable from a number of different satellites.

I've checked and can't find any info as to what screen that would show up on. Or how to view.

Anyone know how to view this?

You have to go into the diagnostic screens. On an '07 (or an '06 with upgraded firmware), press and hold the "INFO" button while you rapidly switch the headlight stalk between "Off" and "Parking Lights" about 5 times. The nav screen should switch to a diagnostic menu (with less sophisticated graphics)

Once on the diagnostic menu, it should be trivial to find the screen you are looking for.

Very clever. It worked.

Thanks for the tip.
