Dang, I found something yesterday that I made a mental note to come on here and reveal, but for the life of me I can't remember squat!!


EDIT--

This wasn't is, but a cool little item, when you get out if you click twice and hold the lock button on the 2nd click ton the remote, the outside mirrors will fold in, and when you get back in and start the car the will return to the driving position.

You just have to keep pressing the button the first time for a couple seconds. if you press it twice, it changes the alarm system setting.

You can press and hold the interior light buttons to adjust the brightness.

Almost everything is on the manual but I guess no one has actually read it thoroughly.

Simply press the phone "call" button on the MF wheel and your recent calls come up on the multi-purpose display without having to scroll to the telephone screen. Works on the PCM as well.

I tried the hold and press with the remote and nothing happened. Except, now my phone doesn't chirp when I lock.

If you open the hood for any reason (e.g. to clean engine, add washer fluid, etc...) and then close it, the next time you perform a check 'Oil Level', it will not display the oil level. Instead, it will display a message stating that you have to drive a while before the oil level can be shown. You actually have to drive for 100 kms uninterupted! In the city, I rarely drive for 100kms at a time.

You can get around this. Before you open the hood, ensure that your key is in the ignition and in the 'on' position (but with the engine off). Then open the hood and do your stuff. When you close the hood, perform a check 'Oil Level'. It will now display correctly.

I just read that message after I opened up my hood, didn't know why until now, thanks for sharing !!

You're trying to get the mirrors to fold? As Moss correctly stated you only have to hold the lock button down once.

A helpful tip try to make sure it's pointed at the car and just hold it down or a few seconds and the mirrors should fold right up.
