Default Does yoru ECU know your gear that your in ??

I would like to get myself a gear indicator LED for on my dash and just wondered if the ECU's know what gear the car is in all of the time. Then you could possibly take a feed from that if at all possible ?????

The newage ECU estimates the gear via rpm and vehicle speed. AVCS(VVT) is determined by load and rpm, it's not gear dependant as far as I know.
