There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
ECO mode ? What's the purpose ?

To deactivate: (No Eco or arrows showing)--hold the MODE button in for about three seconds--it will go away. Opposite to activate.
ECO changes the gearing a bit and is supposed to save you a bit on gas because you will end up shifting at slightly lower rpm's.
Most do not like it. Always looking for the arrow to shift up is distracting. Gas savings (if you faithfully use it) are 1/2 to 1 mpg.
I shift at about 3500 rpm (up) and do it by sound and feel. 38 - 40 mpg consistently. I let the :ani29: downshift on its own 98% of the time. :yes::yes:

What year and model Spyder ?
What "O" on what screen.....the main one ??
The shift arrow only shows up as you are accelerating......telling you the lowest recommended RPM to shift. It replaces the "current gear" number display.
I have heard that it changes the throttle mapping a bit, making response to throttle changes smoother and slower.
Someone also said that the response while the cruise is set is slightly different.

Well....
Good information above but to your questions.... It is there to calm the screams of the EPA. It is supposed to save you money / gas under normal operation by telling you how to drive your spyder. This can be equally achieved for a lot less by staying at the speed limit and shifting before your ready.....:lecturef_smilie:
