F10 Coding for Valet or car wash or service

Andrey · 01-01-2013, 10:22 PM

I am planning on having my F10 550i coded some time in the future. So while thinking about what to do, i thought can i somehow code a car to put it in a setting of Valet or car wash, where it puts a car in an "easy mode" either password protected or a secret button that can be pre-programmed.
Any idea?

You mean like the early corvette ZR-1s? Think they had a valet key that only allowed 4 cylinders.

Maybe a code could prevent it from going into sport mode- stay in comfort etc. But then they would just talk badly about the car for poor responsiveness 😄

yes, that is what i am talking about, I wish i could enter a special code to prevent RPMs to go over 2000 or gears from going past 3rd.
My e39 525 had trunk lock where you couldn't open trunk unless you knew how to do it with the key.
