Auto-windows; press and hold the lock (to close) or unlock (to open) button to open/close all four windows

Reverse; Yes, your rear wiper does automatically wipe once when you select reverse (took me by surprise the first time)

Stereo Settings Save; brilliant, i've found that my ipod needs the stereo set up differently to the radio and different to the CD player, also, i'll have different settings for if i'm in the car on my own to when i've got passengers.

[might i suggest that you compile all the suggestions into a single list in your original post, possibly grouped in some manner when the list gets bigger to facilitate finding the relevant info]
[also, may be useful to get a definite list of the bulb types required for each bulb on the different models all in one place]

there are a lot of cool little things that arent explained very well in the manual and a lot of people dont know them including me. I love finding out a cool feature from here i always think "oooh that sounds cool i wish i knew that earlier" haha :p

It is a "reset" button essentially. others could tell you in more detail, but it can also be used to activate the speed alert feature.
Click to expand...

If you press and hold it it resets the trip computer (can someone clarify if it resets both trip computers or just the one selected.. i've never bothered to check)
It also swaps between trip1 and trip2 if pressed briefly (for ave mpg, ave speed, trip distance)

If you go to the speed alert screen (---mph) and press it, you can then use the up/down buttons to set a speed, above which the car will bong at you (suppose it's handy for ave speed cameras if you don't have CC, or perhaps have it set at 95mph so you know if you're approaching the license losing point :lol:)

I've used the speed bong a few times, just gets annoying! Which I guess is the point.

I've only got an ECO, so I doubt its got all the fancy extras lol

How do you activate the coming home lights? AND the autolock feature?

I DO like the boot button on the remote. Where fi the car is locked, you press this button, it unlocks the boot, you open it and when you close it it auto locks again. :)

Auto-lock is exactly that, if you unlock the car but then don't open a door within a certain period it automatically relocks the car for you.

There are quite a few nifty features this is a good idea. Edit your first post when we get them all to give full instructions to activate them.

Nice one mate.

will do :)

actually the auto lock feature isnt where it locks if you dont open a door, it is when the doors lock for you automatically when you drive away...

Haha, i often play the "can i beat the lock" game.
Need to test to see if it'll lock once the doors are shut after a certain period of time, according to the AA man that came out to look at my car once, some cars will do that and end up locking keys in the car... don't want to be caught out!
