Don't have my empeg here, but I'm guessing you've already looked at /proc/empeg_*?

I can only do that at home, and then I don't have a tuner. I could probably bring in a laptop, but hey, I'm looking for an easy solution.

Wait! ... depending on how dodgy your AC sensor is you could boot, check the AC switch status and then see if the .ini option worked

I was hoping to avoid this. I may have to boot 16 times before before I know I've hit the right position. And then I'm still not sure whether I got into car mode by accident or by hijack's force.

Being a lazy bastard, what I'm really looking for is for Yet Another Hijack Feature: show tuner ID on the display in some menu. Are you there, Mark?

Thanks,
Pim
