nobody? would someone be willing to take a short video so for those of us less fortunate buyers who have to wait 90 days can see how that looks?
i am referring to the screen when the bezel is slid to the right and the dear selection mode screen shows up.
i noticed while parked the gears show vertical bars that i assume represent the speeds for each gear. (8 speed) does anything animate in this screen? i am just curious what it shows while driving, i am sure each bar represents the gear its in, but does anything else happen?

I would post a video but I am not allowed or able to post links until I make 30 posts. I think this is a crazy stupid policy... As soon as I am able to I will.

You might be disappointed there's no animation when the gear changes. It just goes from left to right. I'd like to show you a video but I don't want to record it while driving.

so whats the point of the different heights of the bars from left to right? do they just highlight one after the next?, do you get a gear indication such as a number?

Each bar just highlights as the car shifts...it really isn't that cool.
