Default BMN 1st gear lockout

OK, ive had my n20 and BMN window switch for months now and have never been able to get the 1st gear lockout to work. I would REALLY love this feature to work because spraying in first I spin like crazy (obviously) and this is killing my track times.

My only thoughts are that maybe I dont have it set to the correct cylinder mode. I have heard the on LSX motors you are supposed to set the window switch to 4 cylinder mode.. I don't know what to try at this point. Everything else has to be correctly wired because I have the red (12v), amber (on when brake is depressed), and green (lit in my RPM range) all lighting at the correct time.

Please help me out
