Saving sequential mode shift speed possible?
I prefer to drive in S4 mode but each time I start the car it defaults to S3. It seems to remember the shift speed for D mode though. Anyone know if there is a trick to this?

It always defaults to S3 and that cannot be changed. It use to annoy me too but I am so use to putting it in S4 now I don't even notice it.

+1 - you'll get used to it over time or if the M button is on your steering wheel you can always use it to get the shift sitting you want at startup.

Ok. Thought I'd ask. It's kinda bizarre that it works for D mode but not S. Though ultimately I just like S4 because it rev matches the downshifts. I wonder if that is harder on the tranny than not rev matching and they default it because its easier on the car, especially when cold. Using the M button is a good idea but I usually have it set to gonzo settings for when I want to unleash the beast.

Dumb question, but somewhat related: It seems that sometimes when I start the car, and move the shift lever, it remembers if I was in D or S mode. Most of the time S is first, but I thought sometimes it's D, if I drove it in D mode when I last stopped the car.

It's a bug and has been fixed. However, if you update your software at this time, keep in mind you'll get the new "safety feature" that won't let you move the car without fastening your seatbelt first (search the forum to see the recent threads about it). |

You'd think I'd have the latest software, since my car is a '12. I did not notice the inability to shift without the seatbelt situation. I suppose my car's software will get updated to the latest, at the VPC. I'm seat belt 100% of the time, anyways, so not sure if it will bother me. So what is the correct behavior with the new update? Is it "last mode", or S upon start up? |
