Yeah there are easier to use diagnostic machines out there and yours look a good piece of kit for the money.

I've been able to sort the problem I had with the car using Diagbox. It was a reversing sensor fault, turned out there were 3 duff sensors. :shock:

I also wanted to turn off the automatic folding door mirrors when you lock the car which I was able to do, but unfortunately when you turn them off you then loose the manual fold option which is disappointing.

I also though there may be an option to have total closure from the remote for the 4 electric windows but there doesn't seem to be any option for this in any of the menus that I can see.

Cheers.

I have just today discovered a different menu where you can disable the mirrors from folding when you lock the car but still retain the ability to fold them manually from the drivers door switch, so I'm happy with that discovery 8-)

Yes, that's always a thought in the back of your mind before you press anything. :!:

Unless you are using a reader often it's all a bit of a memory game, trying to remember where you saw something and getting back to it.

I would have thought there would be an option to have the windows close by holding the remote lock button (Total closure) like on other cars , all 4 windows are one touch enabled and total closure is often available when you have this.

Having tried a lot of things none of which made any difference, some changes seemed to make it slower or even freeze up completely, I have finally managed to sort the slow loading. :)
It was just a case of fully deleting the VM from the computer and reinstalling it, it runs fine now with no long waiting for it to load.

Thanks for all of the advice offered =D>
