And the coding function appears to be fairly complete and robust. Here's the list so far: A-S/S button saves last state Gauge backlighting always on (white face hack) Disabled seatbelt warnings Remapped coolant temp gauge accuracy Comfort blinkers to 4 Windows up/down with key fob Change side markers to indicators only* Activated teardrop wiper (not tested yet, don't want to spray all over the car). Change/disable the auto-headlight washing after 10 washer uses I've failed (so far) on a couple things, which means I either haven't found the true spot to change, or haven't found some other required spot (some changes need to be made in multiple locations). Change spoiler deploy speed Change Auto headlight sensitivity Change
