If your car has the HUD, it will display on that.

But only if you're using the paddles. If you're letting it do the shifting, even in "S" mode, what gear you're in will not show up on the HUD or the DIC.

Everything said is correct. However, when you put it in the sports mode, you must select the paddles by pressing one. It will then show what gear you are in in the HUD. If you do it at a stop, it will show a 1 in the HUD in a little box. I do think that if you have the Nav running it will then be in the DIC, at least when the Nav is showing on the HUD.
