[QUOTE="chaiks, post: 275179, member: 278"] Most of it is in the manual, but who reads manual anyway. You need to know what it can do? The feature I use the most is to signal to opposite side when I park at the road shoulder at night (Park left side, I signal right). This way, the front and rear parking light is switch on permanently, until of course you come and drive away. For those that reach home at night after parking your car, you can just flash the headlight, and it will be lit, if i'm not mistaken for 1 minute. Its better than groping in the dark for keys to open your main door. There are easter eggs function not available in the manual, eg. I remember owning e46, the speed volume is adjustable easily cos the function is available when reviewing the stereo mode. E39, the function to adjust speed volume is in the setup mode and its called GAL. The setup mode also allows you to set the geographical radio frequency. In fact, my used CKD was set to Europe, so I imagine the previous owner couldn't get most of the local station. I even managed to set the RDS function permanently on, so the station broadcasted text appears. Just sharing. You won't know what you missing if you don't know its there. cheers. BTW, I can't unlock all the OBC extra features using number 19 for model e46. Any e39 owner who manage to do that please share. Mine is 2002 CKD. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
