Tach display and license plate frame questions

On the tach display is it possible to show speed and MPG (or whatever and whatever), or are the data pairs all set as is?

For anyone that has bought one of the mini license plate frames, do they come with all four screws and caps? I only got two screws with my car and wondering if I need to get two more separately or if they'll come with a plate frame. Also for those that have them, where did you buy them? Morristown is the cheapest I've seen so far, but I haven't looked much.

Data pairs are set. But you can use the radio display for MPG, and set the tach to speed.

Dunno about the frames. My plates are naked

I do this all the time...MPG in the speedo, MPH in the tach. Very useful.

Yeah, I could see that if you're a big digi-display person. I love the analog, though. So, I figure if I have to look in both places, I'll set realtime MPG on the tach, and watch the speedo

I have nav so no realtime MPG that I've seen. I've just been setting it to the trip screen (shows distance, time elapsed, average MPG, average speed, etc) and resetting it before I go out.
