Operator Interface Improvements

[Dan]

It seems from a posting on the Yahoo board (message 452) is that the OIs are different from year to year. Anyone figure out how to differentiate the different year OIs? They all seem to look the same.

I don't have one in front of me to verify this, but i think they put barcoded serial number stickers on the OI and RC. Also, look for a small jumper next to the dashboard port. That's new for this year.

No barcodes on my 2000/2001 OI. I don't have a 2002 OI in front of me.

I know they put barcodes on the Victors this year, not sure about the RC/OI.
