Odd feature discovered
« on: 25 October 2013, 12:36 »
Maybe this won’t be news to a few of you (maybe it will). Anyway, I popped out to the car to disconnect my tuning box and send it back for tweaking. I literally unlocked the car, opened the driver’s side door, popped the bonnet, closed the driver’s door, lifted the bonnet, whipped the box out, closed the bonnet. It was raining, so I opened the passenger door, sat in the passenger seat, closed the door and the entertainment unit came on automatically, playing what I last had on (Angel Dust/ Faith no more). The key had been nowhere near the ignition.

Never knew as a feature that if you unlocked the door and jumped in the passenger seat (not the driver’s seat) that the audio unit would start up all on its own.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Maybe the car was getting confused with all of the unlocking, opening, closing, popping and whipping that was going on. I know i am  :grin: :grin:
