Default Performance Exhaust

Can you use the performance exhaust (make it louder) while in the Tour Mode? If so, how? Thank you!

Exhaust settings (and all others) are fixed in Tour Mode. You can, however, adjust exhaust settings (and others) in My Mode. You can, if you want, set all other parameters just like tour mode, but the exhaust setting like Sport Mode or Track so that My Mode will be a "loud" version of Tour Mode. See owners manual.

Will the car still switch between V8 and V4 in My Mode?

V4 is still enabled in My Mode, but it is not in Z-Mode (which also allows you to adjust your parameters similar to My Mode). My Mode is tied to your key fob/profile and will retain that setting between ignition cycles.

Kracka - ??? to your comment highlighted in bold above. What am I missing or misunderstanding? I use My Mode 85% of the time behind the wheel, I use the same key fob 100% of the time and My Mode ALWAYS reverts to Tour Mode each time I shut down.

I would LOVE it to stay in My Mode....how??

Do you have a profile created and saved in the infotainment system? If I shut down in My Mode it remains in My Mode when I start it back up.

I have both our FOBs tied to the same profile, but each with their own unique memory seat settings.

Yes...at least I'm pretty sure I do!! On info screen at start up, my name appears and informs me I am using Fob 1.

I will be looking deeper into it tomorrow. This is good news if so as I am confident that if this is all it takes, I will be good to go. Thank you for this info.

If this works, there may be a group of others that this bit of info will be helpful to also as I have read in the past that my mode will always revert back to tour mode when you shut down.

How about Z mode? Same? As listed, I experience the same when shutting down while in Z mode...back to tour mode.

Z-Mode will always return to Tour.

Good luck! Your profile will be tied to your email in the infotainment system, just FYI.

V4 mode is still enabled in Z mode unless you set the engine/trans in track setting while in Z mode. problem with that is driving on the street , track mode is way to aggressive , trans will not upshift below 3000 rpm and downshifts if you just breath on the gas pedal. Manual mode will shut off V4 mode, but driving all the time in manual mode on the street in everyday driving .... gets to be a pita. Cannot wait for the ecm to be tuneable or when the range device can be plugged it to shut down V4 (AFM) mode completely.
