Yes. I think that sounds expensive.

You don't even need the key in the ignition - just unlock and open the door then press the ODO button. Dash and gauges will light up. Cycle through until G-OFF / G-ON come up then put it either on or off as you wish.

As for a physical paper manual, can't wait till one is available - have always bought the factory service manual for my vehicles.

Just want to touch upon the above and add that when you cycle through the menu, you get to "G-OFF" as the default setting. You have to press and hold ODO until it turns to "G-ON".

+1 ... as long as it's not a crazy amount of money.

Can afford 28K car, can't afford $200 manual? They've always cost that much. It's a BIG printed book.

What's the purpose of a paper-copy for a lot of dough? The PDF manual for my spec.b is on my home-server and I can access it from my tablet whenever I need it. And if I expect to need it - I have directly on my tablet.

The part where I said I don't have space in my man cave, er garage, and don't have a tablet either.

I fought with this yesterday. To set the Rev Beep/light the car needs to be in Accessory mode, then you press the Disp button and the extra options will show up. To set the Gear indicator and Tach sweep you need to have the car off and then press the ODO/Trip button a few times to cycle through the extra options.

The Gear indicator is not as nice as I hoped, as it only shows the gear once the clutch is fully engaged. This is good if you are on a long stretch of road and somehow forget what gear you are in. I had hoped that it would show what gate you were in before releasing the clutch to help prevent skipped gears due to unfamiliarity with the gearbox. It does show the shift up/down indicator though which is nice, as the car likes to be in a higher gear than I thought it would.

Still getting used to my first stick, but I love it!

It calculates the gear you are in based on vehicle speed to engine speed ratios. In order for it to tell which gear you were in before that, you'd have to have several sensors in the transmission or shifter to tell it.

I think it's cool it has it at all, as it's pretty unnecessary.

This. I prefer paper over digital although I've never tried using a fsm on a tablet. Digital can work I'll just be doing a lot of printing.

Paper books FTW
