Default G meter on dashboard 2017 F type V6 340hp

Hello guys, I remember being able to display the g force meter on the dashboard, but I forgot how to put it. I am aware that you can display it on an f type s with the I Dynamic app on the infotainment system, but does anyone have a clue on how to display it on the base model v6 f type? Thank you in advance for the answers.

This has been discussed before and the general consensus was that iDynamic is available only on those cars equipped with active suspension and as the Base model does not have active suspension it does not and cannot have iDynamic. So you are out of luck.

I think that's right.
Out of interest, I'd like to know what the maximum G anyone on here has been able to record on a fast bend? I managed 1.3 G on a right hander at Goodwood. Probably not much, but seemed quite fun to me!

Yes I know that the f type 340hp doesn’t get iDynamic, but I remember as mentionned that I was able to display it in the little screen in the speedometer. It was a simple G meter without any other features. I am just looking for someone who knows who to display it

In that case, I'm FOLLOWING.

I've been through every menu in the cluster center screen in my '16 R. Never saw a g-meter.

Dynamic mode has to be on and then you select the Dynamic screen - G-meter is a button on the configuration screen. Not in the cluster screen, though.

OP specifically states in the cluster. Getting it on the center console screen is easy.

Yes I am talking specifically about the cluster, I remember back in 2017 when I first got the car going through every settings, I was able to display a proper G meter between the 2 speedometers and I found it pretty nice, but never thought about it again until this week! I tried everything but no one has ever heard of this before on a standard v6 f type

This is the highest number I've got evidence for:



Done on a hot July day on the switchbacks just east of Pemberton BC:



No idea how accurate it is.

Since nobody else replied to the question, I'm curious to know what others have managed. Surely some of our track-frequenting friends have seen some high figures.
