User-configurable options
 
I was very pleased to find that you can turn the beeps off on the climate unit by holding down auto/off until a beep is heard. What else can be done - is there a list anywhere on the forum? It's a pity the auto rear window demister can't be turned off or the temperature threshold altered but that seems impossible.

Is autolocking a T4-only setting? If so what else can/should I think about tweaking if I get access to a T4?

All functions need a T4 session. What can be set is governed by the loom that is in your car, the BCU/ECU fitted etc..... A T4 session will tell you what can and cannot be done ;)

And yes the rear demister is a pain, but unavoidable, short of re-wiring ;)

You can disable the door operated interior lights by holding the main light button in until the light flashes once. I have mine off to save battery, rarely use the car at night. Who needs interior lights during the day? Hold button in again to re-enable.

Why is it a pain? I never notice whether mine's on or off, in the same way the auto dimming mirror just 'happens', and the rear parking sensors and reversing lights come on with reverse gear. When something's needed, the car activates it!!

Why does it stay on?, if the window has no ice on it its pointless, Its like reverse sensors/lights coming on when you are going forward, Not needed

That's what I was thinking.

To me it just doesn't make sense to trigger it on a temperature threshold. I know it's more likely that the window steams up in colder weather but it's not a concrete link.

So we seem to be saying there's no other simple tweaks like the climate unit beep turn on/off then? Mind you I was pleased with that one!

The rear window should never have ice on it, it should be scraped off before you set off. What we're talking about is a demister.

Possibly. But driving style will affect it many times more.

OK I dare say I'm in the minority, as is often the case, but I just don't see the problem.

Hmm... time to look at the possibilities of a mod I think ;)

It shouldn't HAVE to switch on with temperature :D
