Secret Feature on Your Alfa Romeo & How-To!

[@theenforcers29]

Love how you explain things and make it so everyone can understand. Im an idiot and was able to understand the process completely. Keep em coming bud!!!

[@Nicks_QV]

I appreciate it! Thanks for the support

[@chadbruch9246]

Thanks a lot. I constantly get kids at the bus stop wanting me to Rev. This mod will help make those kids happy when I'm not at a stop.

[@Nicks_QV]

@@chadbruch9246 very easy!

[@anirbano]

Will definitely be doing this. You're picking great topics for your videos, keep it up!

[@Nicks_QV]

@@anirbano appreciate it! Thanks!

[@vtmiller]

…Was just wondering how to go into neutral with paddles. Now I know thanks! Appreciated.

[@Nicks_QV]

👍👍

[@ndumiso]

Keep the videos coming, Nick! Great job.

[@Nicks_QV]

More to come!

[@Bmsith87]

Killer video!

[@Nicks_QV]

@@Bmsith87 thanks!

[@randyscadden6590]

This now something I am going to have to do! That is super cool.

[@Nicks_QV]

You should! It’s definitely a neat upgrade

[@cr10076228]

The first time I saw this was in a video of alfamods and it was so cool man 🔥 thanks for the explaining 🍀

[@Nicks_QV]

@@cr10076228 no problem!

[@Marco-y6c]

This is sick!

[@Nicks_QV]

Thanks!

[@kpmongerol]

Definitely want to do this to my Quad since seeing Ricky (Modded Motors) demo it in their Stelvio.

[@Nicks_QV]

@@kpmongerol yeah it’s for sure worth it!

[@haxcy]

Great video!

[@Nicks_QV]

Thanks!

[@ProjectWolfDragon]

I have all the MES things because I need them at maintenance intervals, one big thing I have been looking for is a compiled list of all the things you can (and even the ones you shouldn't) in the proxi alignment data block, Hoping your future videos on the proxi alignment will cover these things (or if you know a link...)

[@Nicks_QV]

@@ProjectWolfDragon yes I will be messing around with it further to see what I can get away with! I will be for sure using it for my differential service that ill be tackling soon👍

[@sfw1962]

Thanks for the video and explanation. What year QV? Do you have a SGW bypass?

[@Nicks_QV]

2017 QV but no SGW needed. I do have a few friend that have to use the SGW bypass however! They’ve had no issues 👍

[@Mr.Kan360]

It shifts and brakes like that for Racing. Everything Alfa does things for track purposes. The brake and downshifts are on point for corning. So its prefrences. You know.

[@Nicks_QV]

For sure!

[@zilvian1]

One of the first things I did on my 2.0 👌🏽

[@Nicks_QV]

@@zilvian1 such a great modification 😄

[@jayjay10283]

Does it this work on the Giulia ti 2.0

[@Nicks_QV]

Yes!

[@lucatantimonaco]

Hi... Will be nice to find the way to disable the active aero from mes.... So will be not anymore warning when they stop to work

[@Nicks_QV]

I believe the best you can do is set the aero to down mode. Will do some more poking!

[@anirbano]

Does it put any extra wear on the transmission going from neutral to drive?

[@Nicks_QV]

@@anirbano that I can not answer, I would assume yes

[@anirbano]

@@Nicks_QV So it's basically not any different from putting the car in neutral and back using the shift knob?

[@Nicks_QV]

@ correct, just easier to do on the move

[@bglri6736]

very good video, does it need the sgw bypass? i heard it’s needed for the MY2018 or newer

[@Nicks_QV]

Yes! It is needed

[@bglri6736]

@ thank you so much🙏🏻

[@Nicks_QV]

@@bglri6736 no problem!

[@Food_n_Driver365]

So cool! Does the engine rev match when going back into Drive while the car is already moving?

[@Nicks_QV]

It does not, it finds a suitable gear to shift into. I would definitely allow the car to coast while shifting back into gear so as to not cause any issues. I could imagine with high rpm to shift into gear the transmission may not enjoy that

[@Food_n_Driver365]

@ hmm can I give it some gas and rev match myself (at my own risk lol)?

[@Nicks_QV]

@@Food_n_Driver365 no I would not. When it switches back to drive it will select a lower fee with higher rpm and the car will jerk. Definitely not good on the trans

[@vazhaveliadze5327]

I have 2.0. installed race mode on it. Thing is I can't shift the gear from paddle shifters. As I've heard need reprogram gearbox as well. do u know how?

[@Nicks_QV]

@@vazhaveliadze5327 there should be some forums on it!

[@franciscoburgos2762]

Completely off topic but do you know how to update the infotainment system or maps? I have a 2018 Stelvio and never updated either.

[@Nicks_QV]

@@franciscoburgos2762 tbh I just use Apple Maps so I can’t help much there

[@zibrava]

Is this something that could be found when taken to the dealership for warranty work?

[@Nicks_QV]

It is under OEM parameters so I don’t think they would be checking for it. I haven’t heard of anyone having issues so far

[@zibrava]

@@Nicks_QV Good to know!

[@Nicks_QV]

@@zibrava 👍

[@TestPancake]

Can we expect a drag racing videos soon?

[@Nicks_QV]

In the spring yes probably 😎

[@larrypearson8329]

You need to speak louder I have turned the volume all the way up and it is very hard to hear you.

[@Nicks_QV]

Noted, thanks!
