Checked in my car today - I have the mirrors synced but to get the left mirror to dip when reverse is selected, the mirror adjuster switch needs to be turned to L.
 
......start stop has to go!

Just feather the brakes Chaser and you can control it and prevent it coming on every time you touch the brake pedal

On the Amarok I've wondered if you can get shot of the stop/fart by reconfiguring the wiring on the button that turns it off so it can't turn itself on. Is there such a button on the T3?
Yep, you need to keep switching it off though as it defaults to 'on' every time you start up, presumably to maintain the Bluemotion moniker

I very rarely activate my stop/start function when coming to a temporary stop at junctions/traffic lights. Just brake more gently and hold the brake pedal for a second or so after the vehicle comes to a halt and it sits there nicely - no MFD messages and plenty of time then to fiddle with the MFD before you need to move off again

It was an option on earlier models, the valves on your tyres look different also, its not simply a vcds enablement. have you looked at your service book for the options codes ?
X2 - it was not a standard feature until late 2013 under EU regs - prior to that it was an option, I even had to spec it as an option on my May 2013 R-Line, but a couple of months later it was a standard feature.

As RT says, check your option build codes in the handbook or look at the sticker in the boot under the flooring, left side:

Also, check out your spec in the historic brochure for your year/model- here:

Ive been successful on my 2015 in doing the seat belt chime, start/stop activation, enabling the green screen, mirror dip

I cant get the oil temp to display & im logically guessing this is due to not having a sensor in the sump, is that a correct assumption?

But if anyone has any info on these it would be greatly appreciated

Oil Temp Display
Parking brake release without seatbelt on
Battery Status Display
Headlamp washer, adjust how many times before its activated

Great forum.. thanks!

Hi to all,

because I didn´t get the answer in my "introduce" topic I will try it here

I have my old VCDS cable which I immidiatelly used for "tweaks" like Start/Stop deactivation, CH/LH function and what I really don´t expect - Auxiliary heater activation from "parking heater" throw the RNS850 and timer.
For this I have couple of questions that I didn´t found here:
- do exists some manual how the timer works? (I know its quite easy but...)
- heater is now working like standart aux heater without any additional affect? (battery, risk of fire etc..)
- Activate now is possibble only with ignition on, what happens when I turn ignition off?

TY

Regards
Let us know if you manage to do anything with VCDS on this issue. The linked thread in your introduction thread is indeed an ongoing thread regarding Aux Heaters.

Roytour specced his car with the Parking Heater with remote operation as an optional extra when he ordered it, so it's all singing/dancing
