Default Newb question - dynamic mode

Recently purchased a 2015 v6 S. I read on some other forum posts that all S and V-8 models had dynamic mode configuration available but mine does not have those options from the extras menu. I have the dynamic mode toggle switch in the center console area but that is all I can find.

Also, is this toggle the only way I can open the exhaust valves? I have a convertible and do not have an active exhaust switch in the center console.

See this vid:
What you are after is known as "Configurable Dynamics" or "Dynamic i".
My car, also a 2015 V6S, did not come with this but Cambo on this forum was able to quickly and easily activate it for me using his SDD equipment.
Any and every F-Type with Dynamic mode had/has Configurable Dynamics as at least an option, it simply needs to be activated via SDD.
But if your car doesn't have Dynamic mode then it's a no go, and AFAIK for at least the earlier years 2013 to say 2019 all S and R F-Types have Dynamic mode as standard but the base model did not. The easiest way to tell if your car has it or not is to lift the hood and look at the tops of the front strut towers, if you see wires running to a plug on the top of each strut tower then you have Dynamic suspension and hence Dynamic mode, if no wires then no Dynamic.
With a 2015 V6S you should have Dynamic mode for sure so all you need do is find someone local with the correct SDD equipment and knowledge to activate Configurable Dynamics.
Easier said than done though!
A JLR dealership could do it but none will, it is verboten.

Thanks for the info. I know my car has dynamic mode as it has the toggle switch to move the car into and out of. I guess I need to activate configurable dynamics via SDD. I have read quite a bit and seen Cambo seems to be the go to person. Anyone in the greater Atlanta area with the equipment and knowledge that someone can recommend?
