[quote=zeusboy]Maybe you're not aware of the "convenience mode" and how it works.


Hello, it's Xtro.

I'm aware of how it works. That post was a tongue in cheek joke
Because of the way it was worded. It reads like it says not to use the convenience feature unless the car was running.... You can't do that!

A convenience opening uses the key from outside of the car. If the key is in the ignition running the engine, you obviously can't use that option!

Like I said, just a joke. ( Now the big question, is it still a joke if no one laughs ?? )

Cheers,

After a service appt about a year ago, we discovered the convenience opening feature no longer worked. Took it back in and was told under no circumstances would they reactivate it since it was a safety issue. Nice that they didn't even mention this stealth chage to me, either until I brought it up.

I was upset at the time, but hey, you can't fight city hall.

BUT, I recently took the MTH mod off of the car and reinstalled the original file, and... convenience opening is BACK! Woo-hoo!

MTH mod? Can someone clue me in on that? I've only had a MINI for 3 months.

ECU (Engine Control Unit) firmware reflash to get a little more "oomfff" out of your engine.
