Only 4 presses needed in the RS3The biggest annoyance of the car to be honest and from what I hear no way around it.
Routine .. press start button, press drive select 5x
Ah ok busted!Sure I press it 5x to go round. 1 to ‘activate’ as it doesn’t change mode then round the 4 options.

Sorry, but these modules do not address the issue [of drive select on start up]!There are after market mods that resolve this issue, just like there are Start/Stop memory modules to eliminate the annoyance of constantly turning SS off.
Somthing like this active valve exhaust module works very well. Its superb, enables memory function of exhaust flaps and the ability to open and close at will in any mode ( Comfort, Dynamic, Auto etc ), As a side effect you also eliminate the start up exhaust rattle if you leave flaps open. Not cheap though but highly effective and quick to install.

Dynamic mode involves a lot more than exhaust flaps, although admittedly, if it is just sound you want then the modules do a reasonable job for this.
Afaik there is a dynamic "map" only activated by cycling the modes eg stick pull won't do it.I was under the impression that dynamic mode activates more aggressive :-
Exhaust
Gear shift
Throttle
Steering
Suspension
Quattro system
But sport will do the first three which usually all I need for fun around town.
I know it's a mild annoyance but just press the damn button.
+1, yes it’s annoying but it’s a small, small price to pay for what is an unbelievably good car.
I took wheels to be refurbished on Monday and have left my seats down ever since, went for a spin after work tonight and laughed my head off! The car is insane, sounds so so good.. totally in love with it. Drop your seats, highly recommend, but I also have the PCW Mod There are exhaust noises I’ve never heard before with the seats down
You can also us the button on the steering wheel if you program it to drive select mode, I think but I'm new to this car!
Dropped mine round at the detailers yesterday to have the wheels sealed... he strated it up to drive it in his lockup and from the outside they sound awesome! Driving them, even with the windows down, we don’t get anywhere near the full sound!
You said it AudiNutta! Awesome, awesome cars but the gearbox really does my head in around town. Leaping randomly into 1st gear at slow speed, accompanied by an anti-social roar and bang, and that never ending, lazy lurch from one gear into the next even in Dynamic / Sport. Funnily enough, I've found that setting the gearbox to 'Comfort' in the Individual Drive Select gives you a slightly snappier slow speed gear change than 'Dynamic'. On the exhaust sound, the nearest I'll get to hearing the true outside noise is driving between walls with the rear windows 1/4 open!We really do have some incredible machines, even if the niggles are a pain in the backside
