If you're quiet enough, you can hear the sound of my dreams being shattered by your post...:(My guess is the same thing that allows rev-matching downshifts allows the gear display, and it's probably some sort of sensor in the shifter or maybe in the transmission. So, probably not as simple as a software update.
Bullitt is only manual, so if there is a Bullitt video out there somewhere that shows the current gear, it's not the A10. That being said, it wouldn't be the first time the marketing guys edited together stuff that doesn't really go together.Are you sure it just isn't an A10 dash you are seeing?
I kind of wish I had both. There is so much potential for digital dashes.
It was shown in the 1st video review of the car, not a marketing thing so it definitely is realBullitt is only manual, so if there is a Bullitt video out there somewhere that shows the current gear, it's not the A10.

You are correct.It was shown in the 1st video review of the car, not a marketing thing so it definitely is real
Yeah, your right about the marketing guys. In the reveal video for the Bullitt, the dash shows automatic transmission gears only to show a manual transmission in the next scene! (At the :38 sec mark)Bullitt is only manual, so if there is a Bullitt video out there somewhere that shows the current gear, it's not the A10. That being said, it wouldn't be the first time the marketing guys edited together stuff that doesn't really go together.
Edit: Nope, it definitely shows the gear - at about the 8:00 mark
Most likely would have to swap the clusters.I have a 2018 with the dash, and I was annoyed how it never showed current gear for the manual. The Bullitt however seems to have this feature, would it be possible to update the software to do the same thing on 18s?
My initial thought, but in reflection, it might not be a bad idea for everyday driving. For sporty driving you are going to shift based on RPM, and it's either up or down...why the hell do you need a gear indicator in a manual car..... maybe if its a racer for autocross other then i see no need
