Production Date of 8/9/02. I have heard about various features & options that can be programmed by the dealer once my MC arrives. I can't find a list of all of the possibilities. Does anyone know what options are available?

 

Just from browsing around I found that they can make
1) make doors automatically lock when driving
2) windows up w/key option

anyone else find out more??

 

downloading the manual fro the site works. there are a bunch of things to do. the sunroof, window, locks(in many ways), making the car jump around and spin....

 

Don't forget the bonnet and doors on the hydraulic lifts that spin around... :smile:

that's been delayed until December I think....

 

Right! :smile:

 

There is also the option for daytime running lights.









MCS, dark gray/black

 

From reading the manual, it would appear the the daytime running lights amount to the low-beam headlights being on when the key is on; is that right? I like the low-level glow of DRLs on other cars, but if they're just programming the headlights to come on, I think I'll pass.

 

Also the one that switches on the ATM machine under the radio.

Here's what the Owner's Manual says (pp 41):

What the system can do:

Your MINI center can provide you with details on the capabilities of the Vehicle Memory system.

Examples for Vehicle Memory:
* Signals an acknowledgement when locking or unlocking your vehicle
* Automatic locking after starting off
* Automatic unlocking when the parking brake is applied
* Selective central locking; First open the driver's door, then the whole car
* Automatic opening/closing of sliding/tilt sunroof
* Opening/closing windows and/or sliding/tilt sunroof via remote control
* Speed-dependent windshield wiper
* Automatic activation of windshield wipers on cleaning
* "Follow me home" lamps; low beams light up for a short time after the engine has been switched off
* Locking when engine is running (with second key)
* Stop function of power windows on opening/closing
* Activating/deactivating daytime driving lamps
* Switching on interior lamps via remote control

(ps: "other" programmable features are highlighted in the owners manual by a little picture of a "man" that looks like he's shaking off water drops; next to the feature that is programmable)


Hope this helps! NOW all we have to do is to get someone in BMW to give us a "complete" list!
