B8 RS4 spec Q - DRC

Hi All,
I have my build week (45) for my RS4.
I havent specc'd sports pack as I am not that fussed on the 20's, sports exhaust or especially the dynamic steering.
Can anyone confirm what the standard setup is as I believe it has the 4 settings (inc user) for throttle, shift points and maybe suspension?
This is what the brochure states as std spec..

Dynamic, comfort and auto are the three settings.

Depending on what you specced, in the drive select screen you might not get to choose certain stuff. From Chris Haris
YouTube, there are 5 different options. I believe his is fully specced.
Engine/gearbox, suspension control, dynamic steering, sports differential, adaptive cruise control. If you didn't buy the option, the option is not available at all on screen.
I think engine/gearbox is standard option. I am guessing the rest are probably optional in some regions. Sports suspension with DRC is for suspension control. I saw a local car without this feature and therefore has 3 options only on the drive select screen(also without adaptive cruise control option). I suspect if you don't select dynamic steering you might even get to see this on the drive selection screen. Making the things you can play with even less. Some people might like the simplicity.
I am not sure if sports differential is optional in some regions. It is inclusive in the spec in my country. I do seem to recall seeing that it is option in a brochure in another country.

Chris Haris test car
Local car with sports suspension and DRC.
Local car without sports suspension and DRC.
I can only guess if you don't have the Dynamic steering and sports differential options, it will be only one option for Engine/gearbox(with it's 3 settings)

Yes, those is the three settings as overall defaults, or within each item as individual. The latter you get regardless of sports pack.

You mean to say there is an option for dynamic exhaust sound? Did you get the sports exhaust? What are the settings available under the dynamic exhaust sound option?

Thanks all - I dont have the sport pack specced or adaptive cruise so guess will have the standard (which i am ok with). I wanted to avoid the steering as recommended by harrismonkey himself!

Mine shows as dynamic engine, which puts shifts into S and opens exhaust valves
Incidentally, you can just shift it from S to D bad you grf comfortable shifts and the louder exhaust remains
