And I think thats awesome!

Well, maybe you wouldnt call it a shift light, but just before the revlimiter kicks in, the tach flashes red.

I found this accidentally during a hamfisted launch.

heee.

If you set the MyColor to red on the gauge, the rev limiter will not change to another color. FYI.

Default Premium only?

Does anyone know if this is a premium only feature? I've never noticed it on my 2012 Base PP. I was actually looking around for a shift light because I've accidentally hit the rev limiter once or twice (:-O) and I came across videos for the tach turning red, but they seem to be all premiums.

My friend has a 2010 V6 non-PP and it flashes red when the red line is hit.

But is it a non-premium?
