If you mean the "liner" I added it with High Density EVA Foam + little stopper on the underside of the lid to stop it rattling.

f' yeah LOL

TBF i thought these just cycled through every mode up and down, now I know the left is dedicated to sport modes and the right to comfort/eco meant it was going to be useful to me, plus i managed to find a steering trim that matches the cf console trims with alcantara and a heater button hole, which kinda tipped me over the edge to do them all together.

You'll want these instructions, the seat moving and window up feature was on by default for me.

Try the below instructions, but with the 2 series, open the hood, not the trunk (so keep trunk closed). And open both front doors. And perform the same operation.

To Turn on/off all hidden features: Open both front doors and hood of the car Press the "unlock" button on the car remote control key 6-10 times continuously. The vehicle alarm sounds 1 time (all functions turned on) if they were previously off. The vehicle alarm sounds 2 times (all functions are turned off) if they were previously on. In addition on some cars you will have the ambient cycling issue due to the LIN interface. This can actually happen in a stock car as well and is the fix. To disable the ambient lights from cycling; - turn on engine - put to comfort mode - enter the ambient light menu. - press and hold preset 7 on the radio button for 20 seconds to turn off. press and hold preset 6, if u want to turn back on.

They don't list the feature, but it is a feature of all these type of devices.

The drivers seat will go back when you get out and then go back forward when you get in. Also with the windows will close when you get out.

Neither feature works correctly, the seat never goes back to the correct position, sometimes going waaaaay to forward. Doesn't close all the windows.

You will want to disable this.
