Took the ED50 up the Grossglockner- what a road and scenery.

Nicely run in now

@Paul70 Looks great that red really suits the car and what a stunning location.
I think you should add some more pic's to the gallery as you've got the car and the location for it.

Good idea Dav3smith - I’ll write a post about the trip and the car when I get back.

I used OBD11 to permanently disable (or made them remember to stay OFF) these 2 pesky settings. It wasn’t previously possible to do this with obd11 on the 8.5 so there must have been a recent obd11 update. Great not to have to do this on every restart now.

First service done today.

And first time I’ve clapped eyes on an Ed50 in the flesh. Very nice in Dark Moss.

Hi JoeGti, just wondering can you do the same with the attention/drowsiness monitors - maybe you don't want to yourself, and appreciate the reason for them, just curious really

No, I don’t think so, at least not via a “one click” app. It might be possible via long coding, if you’re feeling braver.
The lane assist and speed warning ones are the 2 most annoying by far though, the rest of them aren’t a daily irritation in my experience.

Considering buying an OBD11 to do the same. Which subscription tier is needed to be able to alter these settings please?

And is there a list somewhere of what the OBD11 can alter overall? Edit:found it…

Thanks.
