07 Message Center Button

[chevy24d]

I have a message center which shows:
- trip A and B
- Mpg
- outside temp/ odometer/ compass
- miles to empty

But the funny thing is that every piece of documentation shows that the buttons are next to the flasher on the dash over the radio. I have attached a link to a rod which when pushed indexes thru the menus.

Does anyone else with an 07 or 08 have this method of accessing the computer?

You must have an early XLT. Mine was built in Jan '07 and has a full array of buttons for the message center.

At least one other member has your dash. He has automatic door UNlock, do you? I don't.

That was me in the other post.

I have an 07 limited and my buttons are above the radio also(3 buttons), like Chuck's pictures. I think it is a XLT thing.

I am wondering if my setup is like this because I do not have the "message center" option?

This method (rod extending from gage) to scroll thru the odometer setting may be normal for this.

Can anyone without the message center option confirm this?

Thanks

There was no "message center option" when I ordered mine last Christmas. I think this is a mid-year change.

I ordered mine off this invoice:

That is a build sheet that tells you what the truck was ordered with and not all the options that were available when it was ordered. Best place to look is a sales borchure. It tells all the options that were available on a xlt or limited.. A message center might not come on a XLT. Just like you might not be able to get a limited without a message center. I think I still have my brochure around somewhere. I will take a look.

I looked in the sales brochure, and the message center was an option on the XLT's and standard on all the rest.
