If you are a male, I would warn you about the key fob window opening. I had to have it turned off on my 3gen because I left the keys in my pocket and sometimes I would go out to find all the windows down including once in a heavy rain storm. I guess the fob got pressed in my pants pocket.

I agree with the doors/sunroof open with key fob. That and the lane change blinker setting from 3 to 5 or 7 was what I went for, but he dealer could not do the latter. I finally did it myself with the DIY instructions from this forum. However when the service guy and I were trying to find this setting, I discovered an unlisted one that the dealer can do. It's a setting to turn the blinker volume to low. The settings are low, med and loud, with loud being the default. I highly recommend this change. Good luck.

I didn't know they didn't come already programmed, well looks like I'll ask them to do it on my 10k maintance, since I already done my 5k. How u lower the volume on the blinker? I'd like to have that lowered. But it doesn't bother me tho.

Only the dealer can program the blinker volume and the windows/sunroof FOB control. They are both done via the "data stream" by connecting their diagnostic tool to the Car's OBD port under the steering wheel.

you can program your key fob to pair up with your memory seating. if thats what your asking obadea. For example key fob 1 can be paired up to memory seat position. So whenever that keys comes near the car that is the memory seating it will go too.
