Hi guyz,

After 13 years with an E53 3.0d, I just bought a 2012 E70 3.0d, so I'm not really familiar with all things.

I'm looking to find out if there are any hidden/special features on the car, and also what things can be re-coded to make it more pleasant.

Could anybody give me a list of things I can try please?

Many thanks in advance.

Cheers, Chris

I dont possess a coding device so only know the few things that are possible from within the i-drive system.

Useful things beyond that imo, are programing keys to seat positions for multiple drivers. Setting mirrors to fold on lockup etc and probably a lot more but you'll need a reply from someone other than myself with more info.

With regard to key/seat programming, i find it perplexing my older Touareg can do this without external intervention

There are a raft of things that might be codable but a lot depends upon exactly what options the car is fitted with and even what version of the firmware is ‘on board’ your car. Carly has shown me a number of options but the coding doesn’t actually ‘take’ or seem to have any effect even if now showing as having been coded as ‘on’ and therefore available.

Thxvm guyz, guess I'll just have to try it as I go
