Took me a whole year to realise...

This one doesn't work on my 2011 Granturismo

Works on my 58 QP S.

 

[Gazcw]

My Granturismo has this. You can turn it on and off in the settings. I've not actually tried it though.

Strange. Where is the Independent Italian Unlocking box? Commonly known as 'Its a surprise mode'

 

[Scaf]

I am always impressed by people that know how any gizmo works on their car.

I have had GTS for 3 years, never bothered with the Juke Box or so called IPod connections although I did one tune the radio. These cars are designed to be driven, not played with

 

[Ewan]

Still not tried the juke box or iPod in my Strad either. Just as I didn’t in a year of owning my GranCabrio.

Classic FM on the radio for me
Occasionally the Smashing Pumpkins CD

 

[tokyomb]

Don't think I have even turned the radio on in my Strad in 14 months of ownership. No real need!

try holding the key against your head , I found with many cars over the years stand 30m away ,nothing , press the key against the side of you head and not only is 30m possible but sometimes much more.

You do get some odd looks though

Apparently, the more empty/vacant space you have in your head the longer the distance the remote will work from................I can open my car when it's at home when I'm in Liverpool!!!

Previous owner had a few good tunes in the jukebox. Worked out that it's the Teenage Kicks triple album

No -

Does anyone actually read the manuals?

C

we drive them.
Everyone else has ZF

 

[rs48635]

Not many know about the follow me home lights feature.

Park on drive in the evening, key out pull forward on headlight stalk once and headlights stay on for 30s, two pulls for 60s and so on.

this reminds me very much of a thread about Alfa 166 on another freak zone. "hidden features you never knew about".

Only realised my QP had cd changer while vacuuming car outside the house. Once it got dark I saw the five illuminated slots.

Very good.

 

[rs48635]

QP5 does it too

Tends to lock me in / out of the car so stopped playing with that setting

 

[Wanderer]

Suppose everyone is familiar with the switch for the NSR passenger that moves the front passenger seat forward in extremis for easy egress (for the rear passenger not the front one who depending on size is effectively trapped)

QP only most likely.....

 

[daverichardson]

erm no did not know that I must investigate, I don't sit in the rear though when I am driver

It’s in the rear armrest. I didn’t know either until the kids started annoying each other with on losing the shotgun call.

Or, if rs48635 keeps birds of prey, it could be Hawk Kestrel Man Hoovers in the Dark!
