Is the screen between the vents about 10cm high by 12cm wide, or about 3cm high by 12cm wide?

The TID (text information display) has two lines of text. The GID (graphical information display) is much bigger and can show about 10 lines of text.

Not all SRIs will necessarily have the same display, depending on the year and any options it was originally sold with.
