    As shift lights seem to be illegal here in the West, has anybody seen a device that provides a tone or a beep at a programmable RPM setting?

    Something that is invisible until you hit the set RPM would be good, they don't like monster tachs over here either, lol.

    Cheers

    Use a standard shift light kit and replace the globe with a small 12V buzzer from Jaycar.

    why are shift lights illegal if they're not ontop of a monster tacho? you can get cheap compact ones from Jaycar to fit on the steering column out of the way. they have like 6 LEDs in different colours.

    According to the (several) people I've spoken to in the Dept of Transport over here, they are a distraction. Go figure!!!

    Nah put a relay in place of the bulb and hook it up to your horns, three redlines to start a race BEEP BEEP BEEP, and as you redline it will warn small children and animals of your approach, really it would be a safety device.

    Loud and piercing it will have to be, I'm not young any more :D

    The TT is actually pretty quiet inside, it's the NA that's bloody loud lol

    The latest firmware of the ECUtalk displays provides a buzzer for user preset warnings, RPM is one of them but still, it's a bit quiet.. :rolleyes:

    I had a buzzer on another car, mounted it inside on the driver's side B pillar trim.
