My VIN starts with ZHWGE11S15LA That makes it 05 MY!
What else (more details) you could get from the above VIN?
2) I have the same feeling with mine but but coming from an IS-F as you are from your username, the gearbox is quite a huge step backwards. I tend get off the throttle to change from 1st to 2nd and from 2nd to 3rd as it feels smoother. Changes to higher gears is smoother even with the throttle wide open

3) There is no park, it is a manual gearbox with automatized commands. The owner's manual recommends to leave it in 1st gear when switching it off but I prefer to stay in neutral. It makes the car beep when switched off though

4) No protection but I never found one online and not fully compatible with the Audi RNS-E it is based on. There is not much option appart getting it from the dealer or one of the vendors on here.

Can I just copy it from another Lambo car?

Thank you all for your feedback.

Yes your car is an 05 then.

You can use the disc from another Gallardo. The LP cars may have a different system though, I am not sure

Even if you have the head unit with screen, the nav portion may be locked. I can help you out in either case. PM me your info.

Congrats.

Anyone?

I also engage parking brake when parking because that is what is designed for (with the exception of a hot lap on track).

if the car needs to be flatbed, they can jump the battery and put it into neutral. if the car is left in gear, the tires will drag onto the flatbed. shouldn't damage the car since the winch is fairly slow but I would still put into N.

So when you bought the car you thought it was an '04? The people selling it to you stated it was an '04? And it turned out to be an '05? Just curious as it sounded weird...

Congrats on new car!

Congrats! Beautiful.

Your questions have been well answered....

Also, as Ravill said, all 05s have nose lift. Does yours ISFFF? If not, you have an 04.

So what year is it, according to that and VIN. Not that it makes much difference, it is a beautiful car either way. Congrats!
