2019 Stingray: Is there a way to set up the DIC to see what the actual gear the A8 is in?

I don't have an A8, but I think you can only see the specific gear when you're in manual / paddle shift mode.

I have an A8. The gear indication is there all the time in all modes. In fact, I can't find a setting to stop it from being displayed.

Are you seeing then actual gear or just D for drive?

The actual gear displays with a small number just above and to the left of the D. It does this in all dash display modes on my 17 GS. It switches to a large number when in manual mode.

This might not be an option on stingrays, but all the GS and Z customer cars I tune have it and I'm a little jealous. I might take a chance and try flashing my cluster and see how it goes.

Are you talking about the small gear number indicator inside the circle with D? If so what did you do to turn it on.

Gear shows (when in drive) on Stingrays as well. I have a 16 w/Z51 (though I doubt it makes a difference) and the current gear shows. Though I don't recall the setting, you can also view whether the engine is running in 8 or 4 cylinder mode.
