Newbie in VT

Just got our 05 Cooper S ragtop a couple of weeks ago. My wife's b-day present. We love it. A couple of questions. Where do I find info on re-programming the options? The book says to bring it to the dealer. I want to dis-able the automatic door locks specifically. Also, what is the best service manual to get. I have found several in both book and dvd form. Thanks much for the help.

Welcome

Yes those options have to be reprogrammed by the dealer or a shop that has the dealer computer.

Many have found the Bentley Manual to be the best.

Thanks for the info. It is Blue with a black top. I will put pictures and more info as I get this forum figured out. We took a vacation in Asheville a couple years ago. The Mansion is worth the trip.
