WIth the new sat nav/tv/phone interface. Many features switch off when the handbrake is released.



Any ideas how to overide this? Rgds

It's going to be a case of reprogramming the ECUs which is going to be dodgy.

The new RR has one of the most fiendish computer networks I've seen in a long time, and I'm a network engineer by trade.

Remove the switch on the handbrake and wire it on so the computer thinks the handbrake is on.

A separate switch controlling the handbrake activation sensor.

Take care Pantelis

It'll probably refuse to select forward motion mode. Either that or go into "limp-home" mode 'cos it's broken.

too bloody clever for it's own good, IMHO. I know where I stand with a cable and lever.

Mandy's Merc beeps continually if you try to move with the handbrake on, which is a pain when I want to use it to control a roll-back off MIL's drive or pull it on a bit sharp when pulling up on same drive and the car still thinks it's moving (and I'm not convinced it's right).
