Has anyone had any luck coding the following on a G30?

This list may grow.

1) Easy Entry Seat
2) Increase the speed/strength of the seat cooling fans
3) What is Seat_Soccer_Mum? (Pic)

Anyone found a way for the rain sensor to auto close windows and sunroof? I had this done on my E92... and had forgotten about it.

Did not... sadly. Someone else is also keeping an eye out for it, if they cross paths with a setting that may help.

I do not know about fan speed, but you could adjust temperatures.

Can you tell me one thing: are there just fans blowing air or actual air coming from aircon inside the seat to help cooling?

i'd really want to make it blow more as currently on position 3 i can hardly feel the effect of this cooling.

I assume fans are used. See Volvo paper.

I hate how cooling works in G30. When compared to my previous car (E60), it's like nothing.

I even suspect that level 3 is softer when compared to level 2.

I suppose it's because level 3 is heating the seats a bit in the same time. That's only my assumption, but try it, place hands to the seat after a while when cooling is on level 3, you will notice the seat is being hot somehow...

Does your car reduce the cooling (level 3 to level 2) on its own also?

Drives me crazy.

Okay. At least it's not just mine.

Annoying.

Yes, that’s a “feature”, it’s described in the manual. But since lvl2 is working better for me, I don’t use lvl3 anymore...
