I admit watching and listening for regens. Instantanious fuel consumption, booming exhaust etc.
Not sure why.

In 10,000km, I've actually never been able to discern when a regen was occurring according to those telltale signs (RPM, instantaneous fuel consumption or exhaust note). Not sure whether my car is exceptionally quiet, or I just haven't been paying attention to the right things at the right times.
The only time I have been able to tell a regen was happening was when I had FORScan monitoring a bunch of DPF variables and saw the soot loading value decrease, but even then I didn't notice the engine doing anything different. With a more obvious signal I might get to notice the transition when it starts and stops.
A dash DPF indicator would just be for interest. Otherwise I have to say they've succeeded in making the DPF maintenance quite invisible to me.
