The engine automatically shuts off when you stop at a red light. To disable that feature, simply put the car in sport mode.

M-Engineering tune will get rid of that feature for good.

This also allows you to free-rev the engine up to redline without the "soft" limiter kicking-in in case you want to show off . Only works when the car is rolling though...

Or just create an individual mode that turns the auto-stop off. I have mine set as follows: normal shift, sport exhaust, sport suspension off and all. the nanny's on. When I get in the car I then always use "individual" as my mode. The only wish I had is that I could turn the *** one click left to get to "I" instead of needing to click past Sport and Sport+ to get to "I". First world problems.

Back to the turn signals. When parked, pressing up or down on the stalk turns the signal lights on and leaves them on. Down = left side, Up = right side. Handy when parking on the side of a road at night when you don’t want to use emergency flashers.

That's odd, mine goes into neutral if I pull both paddles at the same time

adjusting the passenger seat with the drive seat controls us really useful if you have to pick up kids. just adjust the seat at a stop light on the way.
How do you control the passenger seat with the driver seat controls?

This is an older version of PCM, but you'll get the idea.

I’ve read that they put it on some but not all, possibly because it was not as reliable as they wanted. Good on you for getting it!
