    I hope to never need to use it for a proper fault either.

    But meanwhile it has been useful for:
    1) Enabling Global Close for windows (ie hold Lock button on remote and all the windows will close)
    2) Tight Tolerance Mode for wheel alignment (as well documented above)

    3) Changing suspension heights for more clearance offroad

    Greg, I've never used mine to change suspension settings. I have Llams for that on both my "new" L405 (actually 2013 model) and my D4.

    Glad you got it sorted out. It's a bit scary when you change settings and wonder whether you have mucked something up.

    I tossed up whether to get LLAMS but decided that the GAPIID tool did what I mainly needed which was lower the suspension as low as possible to help swmbo get into the car. With it you can lower to bump stops which is way lower than access height. It only takes a few taps on the phone to do and you have the advantage of having the diagnostic tool as well. Not for everyone but it made sense to me. I would use this several times every week.

    The tool is definitely a wonderful bit of necessary gadgetry but I wonder if apart from suspension height and fault finding, if it can be used to turn off that awful noise when reversing.
    Drives both the Cook and I nuts (nuttier?) as it even picks up the cars shadow as an obstruction and is really just so annoying and un-necessary.
    Please please tell me it can do this little thing for me.

    My MY13 HSE has this switch but from previous threads I've read not all cars have it. It's very handy though as my front sensors, now in a bullbar, do not like wet weather sometimes and go off for no reason.

    I would pay well to have my reverse sensors turned off when the camper is on the back. Not sure if its a wiring fault but the rear sensors pick up the camper even though the car knows that its there, the indicators show the trailer symbol

    Encouraging words Tombie but now you have to tell me how. Drives me mad with it's constant noise. Well, actually I'm a bit mad anyway according to many people so this just makes me madder.
    Drives me to drink.....

    Matt when Autospark wired my spotlights and Anderson plug and various other bits and pieces they installed a switch near the two 12 volt sockets in the back that turns off the parking sensors when a trailer's attached. I just leave it switched all the time now, so no parking sensor noises.
