Rev beep?
#16
I looked at the rev indicator setting and I saw three setting options. All of the three looked the same except the needle in each case was at a different rpm. In the setting 1, it was at around 6100 rpm, in setting 2 it was at around 6500 rpm and the setting 3, it was at 6900 rpm. Does that mean the needle was indicating where the beeper will sound? Mine was already set to setting 3 so I am wondering why I still don't remember hearing a beep? Am I missing something?

Theoretically, I cannot say this with 100% certainty, but I believe in redline should be at 7,000 in all modes. The beeper sounds at 7000 RPM, not 6900, from what I've seen on videos. So, maybe it does matter what your RPM is set to. If you look at the tachometer on a stock setup, there is a light red spot, then dark red, and in that light red spot is where the beeper sounds. If your light red spot is before 7k RPM, most likely it would make sense if the beeper doesn't sound. Like I said, this is a theory (sort of).

Yeah, I think the animation kinda means nothing... I wasn't really meaning the redline, I was meaning the rev indicator thing. If you set the rev indicator down to 6,900, maybe it doesn't have the beep?

I explained above, it is only pre-select options I see. 6100 rpm, 6500 rpm and 6900 rpm. There is no other option available. Mine is at setting 3, which is 6900 rpm.

Turn off your radio, it's not very loud.
The beep isn't at exact redline by default anyway. There's a lag between hitting the paddle shifter and the car actually shifting. On a full throttle pull, the delay between - beep, pull paddle shifter, upshift - is just enough for the car the shift right at true redline.

Having said that, I will try to notice that next time. Mine is at 'selection 3', which is 6900 rpm or so. Which selection option do you have yours set to? There are 3 options available. Thanks.

Just an update on this. I get the rev-beep now. I think it happened because I followed the steps above in the user manual about how to set the rev indicator and rev peak. It now beeps just about 300 rpm before the rev-cut off (I believe, around 7100 rpm). It is actually helpful because it prevents me slamming into the rev limiter (which is very easy to do).
