This date display is a separate LED display built into the plastic thing on the ceiling that the rear-view mirror hangs down from, which also has the sunroof controls and the compartment for my sunglasses. In fact, if it weren’t for me looking up to get my sunglasses, I’d probably forget the date thing was even there. It doesn’t even …

It’s a wonderful -and neverending!- thread about the date display in his car. Beginning (but not ending!) on Feb 30 th.  
It gets really interesting after Feb 99th. 🙂
