Gear indicator is flashing "N"

Stock map or reverted the ECU to the stock state (ie never been tuned)? Something went wrong in the flash process.

The "back to stock" map that uprev sent me, the process seemed to have went smoothly

The car drives and runs perfect and I don't use the srm so that doesn't concern me as much as how annoying the indicator not working is.

It's not running perfect if the SRM doesn't work. Something electronic got fried when you attempted to flash the car.

I don't see where there was ever a resolution to this issue. First off, it is very unlikely that anything got "fried". I had the same problem when I flashed the ECU with an incorrect ROM based on the wrong ECU part number given to me by my local dealer. The steps to fix this problem are simple, see pages EC24 - 25 of the FSM. Takes less than 1 minute. Or take it to the dealer and have them fix it with their Consult III. It's a procedure done anytime the sensor is replaced, the ECU is replaced, or the indicator is flashing "N". FYI my dealer had no clue how to fix this until I told him. The info came from UpRev. SRev and indicator will work as before.

I would assume so. That's how I read "went smoothly". If it didn't go smoothly he'd still have the problem, right?

Well I meant the process in the software went smoothly, no errors or anything. But the problem still exists.
