Demister, there ain't no mist in my car, condensation yes, should be called "the thing that removes condensation from windows when you leave your windows down on a nice sunny day only for it to rain when your in the office half hour later and your seats get wet".

They would need a bigger button though, I suppose it could be abbreviated to "TTTRCFZYWYLTWDOANSDOFITRWYITOHHLAYSGW", that would be much simpler.

Mate. Racing > Turbo/Sports

Only if it is part of the main acronym particularly as this is where they use the inverse alphabetic relationship, i.e.:

  • R > -T, S or T (think GTR vs GTS-T, GTS, GTT), however post dash, is direct alphabetic relationship:
  • -T > -R

it's very complicated math, taught out of the reclusive monastery atop mount Fuji.

25 GTT

2.5L Grand Touring - Turbo would be correct. Just denotes engine capacity and turbo variant. 

25 deciliter Grand Touring - Turbo is more correct.

Why are they all 'Grand'? 

I just can't connect the dots to the Vizier, larceny, or Rio.

Maybe its because ...no matter what the problem...its gunna take many multiples of a grand to fix it?  But they use Grand, not 'Many Grand'....so still don't know.

It's actually "Gran" not "Grand" I think perhaps they were initially designed for old ladies since they're so slow.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
