No worries mate. How did you find it with the xds set to 2? I would also be interested to know if the rain closure system works too.

All sorted mate? I would have done it m8 just didn't want to be responsible for fuking anything up haha.

Yeah all good.

I don't doubt it you'd of helped mate, but I was expecting to be in south Manchester most of the weekend and as LordLucan was available thought I may as well.

Can't say I've noticed a massive difference between the new XDS setting, but then I've not driven the car much in anger. Been driving MINI's over 10 years and the last one was basicly a racing car suspension wise so its a big step back in handling anyway. There is certainly a difference, maybe I was expecting to much?

I agree with the XDS before when I went into corner it felt and skittish and did seen to understear however it does seem to grip more but I thought it might make abit more difference.

XDS is about power exiting the corner guys, not into it. Enter the corner and give it more power mid-corner and you will notice it tightens up a lot more and drags you around :)

Hi, can anyone confirm that the lead posted in the link on the first page works? Also, would I be able to use that lead to activate the bluetooth functionality on my facelift FR?
cheers, Rob

That's good then, I will order one tomorrow. For the Bluetooth I'm thinking along the lines of installing a Denison bt pro (if that's what it is called) which should interface with the stereo, wheel controls and mfd. however I believe it needs some activation in the ecu to work fully.
I want to play music from my iPhone and obviously have the hands free calling function. From what I've read this is a nice way of getting all that with a factory finish. Someone please correct me if I am wrong though.

Cheers, Rob

Just to update, the lead from the link on page one works with the supplied software. Chuffed with that. Let the tinkering begin...

Just make sure you all disable WiFi when working on your cars!

The 'fake' cable can be 'fried' by attempted software updates. You don't want to be connected to the internet when using it.

Ok thanks for the info. I shall bare that in mind. Seems that the copied cables are quite fragile

Cheers, Rob
