Any way to increase the G-meter limits?

I noticed the G-force meter only reads up to 0.6G on the outer dial, but the M8 goes up to 1.2G.


Often, I find the G meter is totally pegged at the limit when cornering hard... is there a code to increase the range?

I also wonder how to enable the G meter widget.. It does not appear on my digital cluster ID7.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Yes, it can be changed. I came across it doing other stuff.


HU_MGU
G_METER_MAX_VAL
Range from 0.5 thru 2.0 (default 0.8)

I upped mine to 1.5 and went for a quick spin, checking other settings, and I couldn't get it beyond 0.8 anyway (accelerating or turning), didn't try braking thou.

Enjoy
