Anyone figure this out yet, I've found it for other VW/Audi cars but not the 8v.

(yes, I searched, I swear, looked for 2 days. and yes, I can predict that someone is going to paste a link in the post right after this while thinking, 'dufus, even my 8 year-old can google'.)

TIA

not possible. there is no DSG module.

and if you opened the 02Trans module you would see there is nothing there

you will need to get the TCU chip from United Motorsports. (unless you want to get APR bricked)

arU4ic: there has to be a way to do it. There are several TCU tunes available that I've seen (such as from APR) and one of the prominent features is getting the actual gear to display whether in D or S mode. That would be really sweet.

There's got to be a way, since EU and (from what I read) CA models have this feature, without a different TCU. There's got to be a Bit unchecked in a module somewhere.

Has anybody talked to the guys at ross-tech about this yet?

Yeah, I really like having the gear number display....They stopped it? So in drive or sport ...nothing? only in manual mode it shows the gear?

What may help is to get a VCDS output/scan from mroberte... I'm sure he saved one from his first go-around. With the two to compare, it may help Ross-Tech (or the folks in the forums) pinpoint where this setting may (or may not?) exist.

I am a registered member of their forums and an owner of a Ross-Tech cable, so I'd be happy to help facilitate this if needed.

I'm from Brazil, here my A3 Sedan 1.8 Ambition show the gear all the time on the display.
BTW we have the efficient mode on the drive select.

Yes - we should start a thread over on ROss-tech's forum

Tweaks:

I agree, there has to be a way, and the dsg tune companies for obvious reasons, dont want to tell us how.
