Looking good dude! Redlining at ~3600RPM makes it look like you swapped to a diesel, lol.

I have it set to flash red early when i quickly accelerate from stop. It hits 4000 rpm, flashes red, then back to yellow/green. Also, if you are in S or above the needle rises faster.

Contacted TDD and they sent me a custom logo. Was hoping for black background and white lettering.
Additional custom logo is $50 usd.

TDD showed me the AMG image in email when I requested a logo and then quickly put together a firmware update with the logo added.

Also, the turn signals and hazard features don't work on my car, but TDD said they will update the firmware in june/july to add it.

up till February of this year none of the leds had the turn signal function on German cars. It was primarily for jap cars. It’s kinda cool but annoying aswell. Too much in my opinion; I have it disabled
