Thoughts on these codings for M235?

Unlock doors on engine off (a must)
Close windows/roof using FOB (def)
Radio/Navi off when door opened (maybe?)
Doorhandle led when backing up (thoughts?)
ambiance light slider in idrive (why not?)
video in motion (all bunch of options)
remove disclaimer (yes I AGREE ALREADY)
startup logo (M?)
dashboard digital speed
M theme display for sports display


Any of those cause any concern or issues?
Anyone think I am missing an essential one considering what I'm going for?

Door handle when backing up is quite useful when checking you are not scraping a wheel for example...

not sure what you mean with concern or issues ?

I like the seat belt reminder to like 5 secs...
Halos full bright at night
Rear DRL
Video from USB
Display full SMS while driving
Gooble local voice search
GPS synch for clock
Rear view camera while driving

Variable light distribution too but that's easier VO coding removing 8S4

Coding done. Some observations:

Google local voice search as I mentioned I already have it...
gps sync for clock, I rather use the default setting in the car that i have where it says sync-with-bmw-online

I also did a nav -2 update... and the M animation. I noticed, as I use the side split content for nav, on bootup after the m animation as the right side says 'starting navigation' i see a flash of the range ruler (grey) and then it clears. kinda glitchy looking, oh well.

my faves:
unlock on engine off
digital speedo!

nice keep in mind the bmw online synch will probably work till your subscription expires
Ah forgot import routes to iDrive that's pretty cool too so you can save drives you like for later

Did you code the car yourself? Wanna code mine?

I saw a guy backing out of a parking spot with door handle lights on. No way anyone driving around you misses seeing you with that. I thought it was kind of brilliant, and should be a standard feature.

Does anyone have a pic of the digital speedo in the dash. I've been hunting around but haven't seen a pic yet.

Does it "stay in view" no matter what you toggle the other trip computer stuff to?


EDIT!
FOUND IT! Never mind!

Sorry, but what do you mean by VO coding? I don't have my car yet, but I'm trying to research as much about coding as I can until I get it. Thanks.

You can see what VO coding is on the videos http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=997749

basically it's like setting an option from factory, so you just remove the option code and all the changes happen automatically
