This is the way I will eventually make this mod, by buying projek_01's kit, assuming he is still making them. No need to cut any wires, and it is reversible if needed.

It basically disables all safety functions except for ABS and makes the car easier to slide and rotate mid-corners:

At least the ones with door handle lock unlock sensors.

On Limited BRZ's
Factory settings:
When you touch the inside of the handle to unlock the door,
it unlocks the drivers side only. If you want both driver and passenger
side to unlock with a single touch of the handle, do as follows.

Open The driver door,
Leave the car off,
On the key fob Hold down both Panic and Lock buttons for ~5secs.
When you let off you should hear a beep.

Used this little trick on my wifes 2014 Rav4 too

Any more hidden features? Thanks for the tips.

I'm not sure if this is the intended design but it's my tool tray!

Your picture is broken.

- Press the brake pedal 3 times. Hold it down the third time.
- Pull the hand brake 3 more times. Hold/lock the hand brake on the 3rd pull
- Press the brake pedal 2 more times.
- On the last press of the brake pedal, two yellow lights should have come on.

Best used ONLY for track use!

Pulling the fuse is the best option. At least it is on most cars.


That way when you spin out or go off track or get fuel starvation... upon restart your good to go and no dancing is needed.

Today I was deep in the building where it never worked before, put the remote to my chin, opened my mouth (not sure why because you didn't provide those instructions), and viola, chirped on and when I got to my car nice and toasty. AMAZING!!!!

I'm going to keep trying it obviously now, but if this was a one time fluke I'd be very disappointed.

Best way is actually:
With one hand, point remote under your chin
Open your mouth wide
Other hand on top of your head with index finger up mimicking antenna
Press button.

Another secret:
Press:
Up up down down left right left right B A start- gives you 30 lives.

Then you do the hokey-pokey and you turn yourself around?

This is less of a hidden feature and more of a silly joke, but I just discovered that there are actually floor mats under the seats, as if anybody sitting on that ridiculous back seat will actually be able to put their feet on the floor.

It's is pretty patronizing for those to even be in the car.

My 5'0'' fiance fits ok with someone who is 5'10'' or below in the passenger seat who isn't stretching out. At all.

I honestly didn't even know they were there until I had to move my seat all the way forward to pick up a truck exhaust that wouldn't fit in through the trunk. I pulled the seat forward and said, "What the hell is that?"

It's like a napkin. Not too much floor protection there.
