PCM hacks

[Schlarbsi]

Hi,
AMERCY had the idea for a trick or hack thread.
i am aware of two:
1. Tap 2 fingers in upper right corner to reboot the PCM and get into service menu.
2. swipe left or right on the cameras and select a unseen camera to get 3D surround view.

maybe there are more.

Following. I’m also curious if anyone has hacked this thing yet. It seems that the units are largely built the same internally, and the features are enabled/disabled by software. So likely features you didnt pay for, are built into the car, but are not active. If someone does figure it out, I’m sure it’ll void the warranty completely but I’d like to see if it has been done or is possible.

Find me one to have the spoiler up at maximum height at all times and I'll kiss your feet. Driving with the spoiler at stage 1 (via cleaning mode) is not cool. It's barely up and just makes it look like the trunk isn't closed to people who don't know better.

Wonder if sticking something in there while it's up all the way will force it to not close, or break it or the motors. Heh.

@Schlarbsi , thank you (danke). I'd love to investigate and poke around. But (I mentioned already somewhere else): Just coming back from my Toycan (yes, Toycan as in toy) and trying, as I did all the recent days, to get into that enigmatic menu again. I succeeded once, and only once, to get there - just while the car was being handed over. The sales consultant observed that. I never ever succeeded since then. Could I have been locked out ? Paranoia - but I really tried often and hard.

What menu? And what's in there?

Maybe that only works when no user is signed into the car?

Thank you for hinting. Yet: When I tried it at the dealership, I have been signed in. As I understand - not being signed in is not an option. So yes, I tried it with guest as well.
Quite strange. So - is ther anybody out there who can do this over and over again, i.e. not only once?
And if so - I understand tap is holding two fingertips kindof 1 cm apart for more than 10 seconds, top right of the main display?
Thanks/Tak/Danke

Varsågod! Works any time I want to do it. Not that it helps much or changes anything, but it resets me to engineering mode .

I'm raising the white flag. No way I can do it - I'm simply doing it not in the right way. Could a kind soul please redeem me, please. May be a rough sketch with finger tip position, or a photo/video, or a screen shot token from the manual page and two red dots drawn into, or - whatever.
Thank you!
