M Key Settings

JDy80 · 10-19-2011, 02:17 PM

After getting my new ECU flashed, I noticed a new M-Key setting on my M-drive. Is this for when you start up normally without hitting the m button? It's only 2 choices for steering and power I believe, but that's pretty convenient. Has anyone else played with this?

This has been available from that screen for a long time - you must have had very old software. It was previously in a different menu I believe.

In any case, you can change your startup EDC setting and Power setting (but not Sport+, only Sport or Normal). Servotronic is not available.

The two settings are EDC and Power (throttle). If steering can be set I'd be surprised since my car is running V42 software. But yes OP, that controls the startup of those 2 functions prior to pressing the M button. Don't really see why they couldn't have made the steering option available too, and then shift lights and Drivelogic for DCT owners. Not like there'd be a safety concern like putting DSC startup options in there.

Ahh interesting, I never noticed the option before they reflashed it.
