Vcds doesn't allow this option. However there's software called freeware software called vds which you have to use in windows dos and using a serial to obd cable. My laptop doesn't have serial port so can't use cable.

Anyways once you have the two you can program the car in dos. Maybe I will invest in the bits and start offering a service.

It worked on mine, and have been using it every day with this weather! So useful for clearing that initial blast of hot air from the car before you get in. Unfortunately I am not 'near' Oxfordshire :(

The cable's £8 on ebay, USB converter won't work with VDS-pro as you boot into it pre-windows (runs its own OS) so doesn't even see USB emulated com ports.
I can send you the software to burn to a disc if you PM an email address.
Then there's the small matter of having a laptop with a serial port...

Good luck,
