Default Apexi throttle controller question...

Hey folks. Had an apexi throttle controller installed and all the settings work fine and it is a great mod for the car imo. Normal mode and purple setting is spot on between normal and sport.

One question. In all setting apart from green and red the Apexi light flashes the colour of the setting on initial throttle depression. It then stops flashing. Is this normal? It will be a bit distracting at night time.

I believe if its flashing means it becomes activated. It will flash pretty often so I wouldn't worry about it.

Oh ok, what an annoying feature! May chuck some tape over it.

If I recall you can turn off the flashing.

I think you hold the bottom button, then turn the ignition to On, wait for the logo to rapidly blink white then let go.

I don't have the manual in front of me but that's what I remember....
