A little confused with Active Rev Match
Can someone give me a little advice on ARM? Not sure how it works. Do you only press one of the levers once, and then it is on for good until car is turned off? Owner's manual says "ARM will also NOT operate when the accelerator pedal is applied." Isn't the accelerator pedal basically always applied, except for the split second when the clutch is engaged and the gear is shifted? Or is it referring to when you are coasting? Thanks for any input.

Correct. Press once it is on, twice it is off, three times it is on, etc. The gear display on the DIS will be white when rev match is off, dark yellow when rev match is on.

Press either paddle any time. Pressing it again turns it off. Turning off the car turns it off. Gear indicator numbers are orange when engaged.

It basically just blips the throttle and holds the revs so that the engine and transmission are synced for the split second you are shifting. This makes it so that you don’t have to modulate the throttle and clutch while shifting. If you hit the gas again, it lets you override the system and the car responds to your input. It’s almost the same as when you hit the accelerator when you have the cruise control on. The system still works, but your inputs are allowed to override the system.

ARM doesn't work properly if you keep your foot on the throttle. Clutch in, foot off throttle and shift, clutch out.

I bought mine 4 weeks ago today, driven it 540 miles, and I never noticed the Left side REV MATCH. I only engage the Right paddle, shortly after starting car.
I went out to my garage, and sat there almost in disbelief that I hadn't noticed it until I was forced to check my own 2017 M7-C7.
I absolutely knew that the A6&A8s, had Paddles on both sides. I most certainly was not going to buy another A-transmission.

I'm on my 3rd C7 with a manual trans but I don't have any pictures of them. The pics above were lifted from an internet search...likely posted here originally at one point.

I think the yellow ARM paddles are available on 3LT trims only, but I could be wrong (you can do the same with red paddles in 3LT I believe).
Also for whatever it's worth, ARM is only active above 16mph. This is traditionally the start of the 1-4 skip shift prompt.
