Or if you're the tech type, you can buy the USB cable on ebay and a lot of those will come with bootleg copies of techstream, so you can do it yourself.
I found one on ebay here

Do you know what other things you can configure with Techstream? I have a few things in mind that would be great!
  • power folding mirrors linked to the ignition..
  • preventing the DRLs from dimming when in parkers/low beams modes
  • DRLs linked to the proximity key detection area (i.e. DRLs come on when dome lights first come on instead of waiting for handbrake down)
  • auto-locking when key is out of the detection zone
  • auto-locking at >30km/h etc
  • 'Guide me home' low beams that stay on for a few minutes after car is turned off
  • automatic door unlock when car is turned off
  • automatic window closing on lock
  • Beeps when car is locked/unlocked
  • automatic left-mirror parking assist on reverse selection

EDIT: also where is the OBDII port on these cars? should be <2feet away from the steering wheel right? I'll have a crawl under soon...

EDIT2: I found your thread . Thanks for the info there. I'll look into getting one and seeing what it can do. They are pretty cheap.
