Activate other features on the BSI

[RayneR]

Was at the dealer's yesterday for my aircon problem, asked 'bout the BSI too. He said that modifying the BSI is a 0.8 hour job and that BSI settings have to be reinitialized at the end of the job, he thus does not suggest to do it on such an old car as the BSI might go mad.
He says before entering the BSI they should do vacuum in the system etc... it doesn't seem real to me, I see you just enter it and turn it on/off in a second!
He usually is a very honest guy, so I don't think he's trying to crap me, he just refilled the whole AC system for only 65£.

What do you mean by modifying the BSI ? Stands for updating it ? or just enabling/disabling stuff ?

hmm, never thought that the BSI could be software updated .. that is news to me ... i think i read somewhere that the 406 BSI's couldn't be updated ... or at least throw the OEBD port ... I could be interested in doing it, would nice to have some features that is only present in new ones .. like locking the doors at X km/h, auto-locking the car when we forget to lock it i'm surprise that this animal does not have it , my friend have this clio from 2000 and same month he's frikin clio does it

Locking a t X km/h is an option. Dunno about the rest
