^werd. MOD East Coast? Puhpuhuh PLease?
Also, does the MUT overwritte the GST basemap? I would only want to raise the RPM 'floor' that 'normal/auto' uses (get it 2K RPMs instead of letting it drop to <700 [rolls eyes]).
Could it also auto 'unlock all doors' (vice only front/driver)?

You can actually do it with the fob, don't remember the actual procedure, but you use a combination of the lock/unlock buttons... It's definitely in the manual, at least that's where I found it...

Does anyone know what the difference is between the "coding" and "non-coding" MUT-3 units? I'm looking to purchase one via eBay and some sellers have the two versions and that if you need programming ability you need the "coding" one.
