View Full Version : speed meter illumination Yuhki 05-04-2003, 02:06 AM I found a very short and small video, 4sec This shows how the speed meter illumination brings up when we turn the ignition key on. http://www.carworld.jp/car/mazda/rx-8/movie/2.asf Lensman 05-04-2003, 05:03 AM Uhmmmm... It doesn't make that noise does it?!! I presume that the 'chime' is part of the video soundtrack and NOT coming from the car. I may have to disconnect the speaker otherwise. miata2rx8 05-04-2003, 08:29 AM I think its kinda cool...

Are you allowed to say the 'I' word without actually placing a hyperlink to their trademark 'movie/music' on your post? The 'I-Police' will be at your door...

No, it's not the redline beep that we're referring to. I've heard that in other movies and it's fine. This is the nasty piece of 'music' that plays when the instruments boot up. Is it the car or the video? hikoboy 05-04-2003, 01:44 PM i really doubt that piece of music is in there..if it is, then there has to be a music off button....

Must not have the correct codec. eccles 05-05-2003, 11:06 AM Originally posted by DreamWarrior Must not have the correct codec. Yep, Media Player downloaded and installed some new audio codec when I played that clip. But to answer the original question, the RX-8 I saw at Rev It Up did not make any noise when the igintion was turned on, and the noise on that clip sounds to me like it's been added in - it has no ambience. ReX-8 05-05-2003, 01:21 PM I think it's cool for the first time, but if I have to hear that everytime I start the car, then it's a bit annoying. |
