Default R Coupe Arrived!! 2 Questions

So my R Coupe is here. Thanks to Lizard it looks pretty darned great with the Blade Wheels!

So I've got 2 questions. My "J" DRL's aren't automatically on. I have to turn them on manually on the headlight stalk. Is that standard on US models? Or is that something that can be configured on by a dealership? (Bought it used so I didn't get to ask). Second, LOVE Dynamic mode for the sound!!! But I've noticed the ride is a bit bouncy. So I switched the suspension only to normal and left the rest in Dynamic Mode. I like that much better. Does anyone else have their car set up that way? Just curious what you folks with more experience have done with the iDiff! Thanks!

I configured my dynamic mode to leave steering in normal mode. I find the dynamic steering too stiff for my taste. I leave all other items in dynamic.

My DRLs turn on automatically also. I was not aware of a setting to turn them off. Sounds like a trip to the dealer is in order because they should work.

silly questions, is auto mode actually working? maybe the light sensor in auto mode is blocked?

In response to your suspension switched to normal in Dynamic mode, that is my preference as well. Also, I rarely turn on the sound system--I just love listening to all the sounds the exhaust makes!

Thanks all for the responses. I'm a moron. Indeed the DRL's ARE on in auto. Just not with the parking brake set. So when I was checking to see if they were on they were not. But when I switch to drive, on they come!!! You can't teach stupid! Some of us just have natural ability!!!
