New D4 owner - questions on laptop wizardry.

Hi,

Bought a 64 plate HSE a couple of weeks ago and have just bought a remote FBH from Bodsy.

Being next to useless with a laptop I will need to get this enabled so will need to hire one of the forums laptop engineers. This has got me thinking about other wizardry I could get done at the same time.

Having scoured the forum so far thought of:

Alarm to route to the horn
Sat Nav on the move

Any other recommendations would be most appreciated.

To be honest don't know - only driven it twice. Last D3 HSE didn't....

Saw it in someone's signature so eagerly went oooooh will have that... Very Happy

Scrub that then - anything else worth having?

Having scanned the forum, Ive seen the following laptop upgrades which interest me, but being new to the D4 and still only driven it twice, I don't know if they are all applicable to mine... please excuse my ignorance Embarassed

Deadlock First stage
Seat Belt reminder
chirping alarm - is this still possible to do if I get the route to horn mod done?
4x4 info - not sure if I have this already
Daytime running lights - sorry but not sure if ive got this either on my facelift

Anything else I should consider?

Killing the seat belt reminder (or switching it back on) I think is in the manual. It involves clicking and unclicking a load of times in a certain time span. Thumbs Up

Very Happy
