Talking Focus MK 2 Tricks....

Has anyone heard of Any tricks - Tweaks that you can do in the Focus.
EG : Bring up Digital Speedo on Dash instead of the traditional Dial.
This I would like as I XF GHIA has it, My BA Had It, My FG Had it ??
Change Settings within Onboard Computer system like the Seatbelt Chime hack for the BA's & FG's ( FG Seatbelt one below on Bottom)

Connect Via bluetooth for More than you normally would see data on what you can modify.
Have seen the Bluetooth Dongle OBD thing Link

Just Some Ideas Going through my head - I am sure there would be some.
I am Sure there are hidden Bits in there somewhere with what I have seen cars over last few years do.


( FG - ignition on, wait for airbag lights etc to go out
buckle unbuckle 9 times
wait for few seconds for seat belt light to start regular .5 second flash.
All done.

To go back to the annoying warnings repeat above proceedure.)
