never understood why you want the alarm chirp - if you can't hear the central locking banging away when it locks and unlocks you must be deaf!! (no offence intended to those that are or who are hard of hearing)

as for useful - live data logging with graphs is its most useful feature - ensures your motor is in tip top condition

useful for coding new clocks, coding new keys etc, enabling one touch opening with the key fob, auto-locking above 10mph

Rhys, how do you do the graphs etc?

do you have the full version??

if you go to Engine - 01 and then go to measuring blocks - start logging and one of the options should be VC Scope - that brings up the graph program

i'll try and get a screen shot up

not sure if its available in the shareware version mind  :undecided:

rhyso,
is there any logs that can be done on a AGU that could confirm a a boost/vac leak.
i know you cant do the requested boost vs actual boost logs like you can do on later modles but is there anything else you could do for a AGU?
