God, if I had a tune I would run the valet tune as CEL comes on as well as the rev and speed limit and I'd beat them verbally, LOL.

....if you want another "secret code" to lock the car, you may add an hidden switch under the steering wheel on "Steering Wheel Lock system"

It's easy and cheap.

Lucky for us, some of our cars are nice enough to do it on their own. Even leaving the owner stranded! ;)

So i took the Z last night out for dinner to a resturant that has Valet service but is on the corner of a busy street. I put it in Valet mode and handed over the key fob. I listened for the "pop pop pop" of the exhaust when he was leaving but didnt hear anything. After finishing dinner I give a different kid my ticket and he goes running off.

Now mind you since this is a busy street they park it down around the corner in a garage.

My girlfriend and I are waiting and i suddenly here "VRRRM POP POP POP"...pause..."VRRM POP POP POP"...pause, coming from the alleyway. I ask the valet at the box if there is a problem and he says he'll look. A few mins later the first valet that took my ticket came around the corner and said "i think your car has an exhaust leak or something cause it wont drive." I give him a WTF look and say "wont drive??!" he takes me to the car, while its still running in the alley :shakes head:, I ask him what he did and he tells me "i didnt do anything i just drove it from the garage!" I tell the valet "dude really?!" and call for my girlfriend to get in the car. while he is opening the door for her i pop in the secret/magic code :tiphat: and start heading out of the alley pulling onto the street and taking off to beat the coming traffic. I could see the valet standing at the corner staring and talking to his buddy like wtf just happened! :roflpuke2: dude was sweating bullets it was awesome!

I tipped him $5 before he got the car so is to not stiff him over my messing with his mind :tup:

Mine are set in this order, so unless I do something weird, I'm safe and can switch to Map 2 if I feel like getting better MPG on the highway or back to Map 1 when I feel the need for speed.

1- Tuned Map
2 - Stock Map
3 - Valet Map
4 - Fuel Cutoff Map
5 - Not used (yet)

I would think Map 4 would be the best for fuel economy :tiphat:

Rob said with the new tune that I would get better fuel economy and to leave the old map off.

I don't think I can get a "fuel economy" type map with an FI setup since boost settings are static, but I do want to get different throttle map setups. The stock one should be good for everything, then I also want one that will allow it to open sooner without the need for a SprintBooster, and also unlock the max throttle opening limit. Whatever it is, I can't stand the weird limiting feeling.

I drove my friend's old 200HP M3, and 3rd gear pulls very nice with instant response. It makes the car feel faster, but also makes it easier to rev match.
