if u want more extension or tilt out of your steering wheel max it out then clock the **** 10times in the direction you want it to extend more in (ie towards you and/or down, as i like it ) and it will extend a tiny bit more than the preset limit.
DON'T do the above it will kill your motors after time ! !
Also the key in door to open window is usless, I don't understand it.

I dont know. I think its a different reciver all together. I was planning to pull one out of a junk yard when I was in Saudi in April, and try and adapt it into my GS... but I had the time. I was also worried that my remote wouldnt work with the other reciever any longer... so it sounded like a big mess.
But next time I ago, im goign to yank some ECU's, adn remotes with me.

They do that on purpose so if there is a scumbag hiding by your passenger rear door, you don't inadvertently let him in......among other reasons.
I am pretty sure you could tweak your remote to bypass this, but it is beyond me....

Another one that works for both 2GS and 2.5LS (taken from GS hidden features thread and tested it on a US-Spec 2.5LS).
You can adjust the sensitivity of the carbon sensor for the automatic air circulation system by holding the circulation toggle button (circulate/fresh air/auto), then it will show a number on the screen. Once that number shows, press up or down on the temperature control to adjust it. Goes from 0 - 3. I know this works, just not sure how well.

When set to auto, the sensor will detect "dirty" air and automatically adjust between circulated air and fresh air. What type of air it is able to adjust at is unknown, however the user's manual mentions that for example if you are behind a diesel truck and they accelerate quickly, spraying out tons of black disgusting smoke and particles, then it will adjust to circulate the air in the cabin only.
