I had the chirp for the remote turned off. My previous car didn't have one and I found it annoying.
The most recent thing I had done was to set the headlights and fog lights to work in the European manner. It is necessary to pull the DRL (daytime running light) fuse to take full advantage of this. European setting gives you city lights on the park setting and allows the fog lights to work on the park light setting too. All nice in the summer but I will be putting the DRL fuse back in pretty soon as our nine month gray winter is about to return and I will want the safety of the DRLs for until the sun returns.
Everything else is still set to the default (US) setting. A couple of other thing I haven't done that has been mentioned before is setting the door locks to the European setting which IIRC unlocks all doors with one click of the remote instand of one. You can also set the doors to lock at certain speeds and IIRC, unlock when you turn the car off. All sorts of fun stuff can be accomplished, more than the manual or cheat sheet mentions by far. Not all dealers know how to do all of these either, I had to tell the dealer to set the headlights and fog lights to option 1 to get the European settings, the same may be true for the door lock functions.
