Keyfob / dealer options

[Lrpba300]

I couldn't find the post where someone posted the list of Alarm horn / Hazard settings & others that can be changed by the keyfob or have to be done by the dealers computer hooked up to your car. I printed the list & took it to my dealer when i was having other work done on it yesterday. (oil change..FREEbie..part of sale, road rash on head lights..will explain later..etc.)
Anyway, my salesman, who is awesome, took the list to the service dept. & showed all the choices I had made & wanted them to set the correct modes for me. After trying several times, they (service dept.) called tech support & found out that if you have the "INTELLIGENT KEY", you can't change any of the settings, (except the switch between Horn / Hazard holding the lock / unlock buttons (on the keyfob) for 1.5 seconds. They said something about a CONFLICT in programming w/ the IK option. Hope this helps w/ anyone who wanted to change their options that has the IK option installed.Those who don't have IK option, I think you can custom your options a lot, if you can get your dealer to do them correctly!

Great info guys. I haven't seen this. Don't believe it's in my owner's manual. What model year(s) is this for? Is there an instruction on how to change the modes?

Most of the options are deal modified only for some reason. The only option I know how to change is to hold the lock and unlock down together for three or four seconds and this will turn off the horn honk when you set your alarm. Just the parking lights flash, and only the interior light comes on when you deactivate it.

- It's not in the '03-'05 owner's manuals, I believe I found it in the '03.5 sedan electronic service manual.
- To my knowledge, works for all G35 coupe and sedan to date.
- You can only change certain functions via the key fob, go here.
