Taking Care Of Your DIS Controller (When Drinking Coffee)

[ctrcbob]

As I do almost every morning, I stopped off at one of the five coffee shops in the downtown tourist area of Mount Dora, and got a Cafe Mocha to go. Placed it in the cup holder like I always do, and drove away. Then the thought hit me! If I should spill any liquid, it would go all over the DIS Controller and it would cause a lot of harm to the unit. (These things cost a few bucks to replace).

In previous cars, I have spilled liquids, but it only would cause a wet area around the shifter, easy to clean up, but if it happened on this car, "Beaucoup Problems" due to the location of the cup holders and Controller.

To prevent problems, if it should ever happen, (short of not drinking anything in the car) I now place a cloth over the controller whenever I am drinking anything that will soak up liquids if anything spills. When not drinking anything, I keep the cloth in the left door pocket.

Good advice, and I'll add a tip that works for me to prevent spills:
I always ask for a "size" but in a larger cup. For example, a tall Pike in a grande cup. No worries about sloshing onto the DIS.
Still haven't eaten in the car. Sure that will change soon...

Hey, thats a GREAT TIP. I'll start asking for it like that.
