!!! Hahahaha. I think he meant he changed the lights when they illuminate... But I don't know. He did a hell of a job installing my CP & BOV!

I have seen weird **** like that too.
My guess would be that the gear is calculated by speed vs rpm, given the fact it thinks it is in neutral if not moving. And if you clutch slips or you are spinning, the ratio would be significantly changed.
However, I have not had it change screens on me. Maybe someone else drove your car haha.

I also suffer from RPD weirdness. From the day I picked up the car it's never showed neutral. I had to take it in to get the other gears to show, but they can't fix the neutral thing. 4 trips to the dealer later they told me it's not supposed to show. I laughed and gave up. Mine does that too though. randomly says I down shifted to 3rd when I'm in 4th. It's just a glitch in the matrix I guess.

Yeah actually, I picked it up may 15th! I ordered it straight from the factory. Every time I take it in the dealer calls GM and eventually calls me to say they don't know what's the problem. Last time the guy wanted to know if I had a friend who's car showed N so they could compare them lol. What have you heard about what happened in Jan with the RPD's? I've been looking for some "closure" forever and a day now!

For proof just download this video and take it to them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymkWXB5V7Mo
Myself, I'm not going to pursue it, well unless I see someone else with a fix then I might.

yeah I've showed them videos. They finally believed me, but they have no idea how to make it work right, that's why they want a car that works right so they can do some detective work. I don't think there's anything they or I can do so I've given up. *sigh*
