6mt m4 gear indicator
Hey I could use a lil help from my friends.
I just got my car back from service - the rear view camera wasn't coming on. Anywho now it has the gear indicator on bottom part of the tach. I asked the service people why it's now there, as it wasn't before, but they couldn't help, and I have to call a "genius" tomorrow. I did search before posting but I didn't come up w anything. I know it's not a big deal but it's annoying and I liked it before when it wasn't there. Any ideas how to turn it off?? |

I think that the same sensor for backup seems to manage rev matching and the dash display readout. Not sure you can turn off the display in the dash but would be cool to learn that there is more customization there.

Offtopic but somewhat related- Does the 6mt have shift lights on the top of the tach?

I can't find it under instrument cluster
I looked under instrument cluster and it shows Digital speedometer navigation Range distance to destination arrival time average consumption average speed date |

Oh!!!! This happened to me day 1 when I picked up the car. Have them check your gear lever sensor. That was my problem. When they fixed that.. Rev match worked, back up cam, side mirror tilt, everything lol.
Just don't go in there and talk about rev matching because the techs have no clue what that feature is apparently.. I didn't even know there was a gear indicator until that got fixed. |

Bdooh - yeah it seems that they adjusted the 'gear lever sensor' and now my car is acting completely different. I guess the good news is it fixed the reverse cam...but now I have this odd event where I am shifting UP in the gears and the RPMs aren't dropping as fast as they should be, when I clutch in...almost like its trying to rev match on the UP shift...its annoying enough when its rev matching on the down shift.
Anyone else experience it? Its not holding revs when I am in neutral or at the start just when I am going up thru the gears..almost feels like a SHIFT O MATIC |
