Programing Question

I was reading the manual and it said something about the dealer being able to program the car to lock the doors after hitting a certain speed, or lock the doors when the key goes in, etc. Question is can I program the car myself or does it really have to be the dealer?

If you have the Sports chrono package you can.

You have to be on the main screen and then press "Set". Otherwise you get the settings menu for the screen you're on.

Here's my issue, I like Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water, but ever since the dealer set the station while showing me the radio.....it always shows that title. Anyway to clear that screen?

We're useful? Have you tried reading the manual? There might be lots of secrets in there about your car that you didn't know about? I'm just giving you a hard time, it's really fun learning about new toys, isn't it? I rarely crack open the manual unless I have to, I just try everything in the car and it's like Christmas everytime!

I actually did glance at the manual, I was playing with the wrong ****. lol .. Btw Atomic you were right about the gear shift leather option (the leather between the gear shift and the PCM), it looks wonderful tied into the leather PCM and console, thank you for your build suggestion the cars interior is perfect. I'll get pics next week.
