Default RS3 Owners, please help!

Can anyone with a North American (preferably US-spec) RS3 confirm whether or not they have the 3-color shift lights on the dash when driving in Manual mode + dynamic?

See below:

I can confirm that when I test drove the RS3 last month in the US I did indeed see this. I remember because I was watching for it after seeing it on various videos. :-D

Any chance you have OBDeleven at your disposal?

I'd love to get a scan from an RS3 in order to see what values/codes are activated in the dashboard to make that light come on.

Thanks for the info.

Do you have OBDeleven by any chance? I'd love to get a scan from your RS3 to see which codes are enabled.

If not, I have it and would be happy to meet up for a quick scan. I work in Woodland Hills (I see you're in TO).

PM me if you're available.

I haven't seen these lights yets -- I've tried manual/dynamic, and the colours don't change, just the regular red redline.

Is there a way to enable this?

"Shift Light Indicator" is discussed on Page 20 of the manual. Pre-reqs are tiptronic mode (manual shift) activated and VC in sport view.

And, it seems, your version of the MMI software Cars with the older sw aren't greeting the shift light indicator even when in manual, sport.

Oh, I'm not saying I have it (I haven't revved the car that high yet). I'm just saying what the manual says. Although, now you guys have me curious. I'll give it a shot tonight.
