an option to take off auto kickdown feature would be great! especially for track use! If possible of course...for us with DS mode

A piggy with the feature that disables the heating up upon cold start would be nice for the people who are catless. Or do not care about have their cats heated up.... My neighbours would be big fan of that feature....

How about a notification light informing us that the tune is on. I have meth on my oil gauge so I'm not aware whether the oil temp has increased or not. Something like having the cruise control light stay on for about 5 seconds.

It will "disable" DTC at startup? The video looked like DTC was enabled automatically at startup instead of having to hit the button to turn it on???

I must be confused....???

How about making it so it is fully disabled upon start up DTC and DSC

How about it disables seatbelts and airbags too

Will this feature be on the N55 JB4 too? Are all the N54 JB4 functionalities available for the N55 model?

I agree and also can you please find a way to turn off the dashboard lights when disabled? Also will the cruise control work with this option? What happens when you hit the DTC buttons when this function is activated?

Yes, it will come in the N55 firmware as well.

I agree with having something that lets us know the tune in engaged. Since I have hijacked gauges how about making it stay on stock gauge mode until the car is warmed up and then I would know when my gauges become hijacked that I am rocking the tune.
