Possibly one for rickdms...

Is there a list anywhere of the options that are settable on the various ECUs on a V8 Vantage?

As an example, the option to fold the mirrors on locking the car can be enabled/disabled. And I'm pretty sure some people mentioned a warning buzzer when leaving lights on and removing the ignition key (could be a separate circuit I guess, rather than an ECU option).

Be good to know what else the ECUs are capable of as I'm pretty sure there will be more lurking in there.

Hi murph, you raise a really good point, i have not seen a list as such, I am just in the process of updating my website with all the genuine upgrade options mainly for the V8 vantage and DB9 this is something that i could add with details if user configurable or dealer/specialist only, if it would be of interest. any other ideas always welcome

I suspect that's a legal requirement in most jurisdictions so doubt it can be switched off...

Most of these "bong - bong" type noises switch themselves off - the one in my previous Box lasted about a minute although (more annoyingly) it got louder with speed! The Aston version just keeps on going.

I believe that the "bong" isn't a legal requirement - the warning light on its own is sufficient. So if it is possible to turn it off PLEASE let me know.
