Thanks for the info, alanfp! I've just checked it and sure enough, it works!! Like you say, it's better than no functionality. I couldn't see a manual for the Mk2 Gal - plenty for the Mk3 / S-Max though. I'll keep looking - thanks for the tip. Mirez and gegers - Thanks for your info about the VAG-COM lead. It seems I should get more familiar with this lead. I really don't like the fact the Ford hold the key to simple user-choice on simple things like this. Thanks again, EP
