That is very true.

I feel quite a fool! :cheesy:

One example of this is on the coupes, you could close the windows from the keyfob, then they took te feature off on the very last 03 plates, then you had to put the key in the door.

So Peugoet don't only add features to their cars, they take them away too!

thats because they changed the software in the BSi so it could be used in other peugeots, i think the coupe BSi software is the same as a BSi reload for an exec 807
it is possible to add this feature to any D9 406, its just a matter of if the dealers will sell you the software download, and i cant see why they wouldnt

96 LX with chrome badge here...

no,, wait... I'm cheating. I fitted a D9 GTX Leather steering wheel. :P
It seems from 1997 onwards all but a few 6's come with a chrome badge on the wheel center.
