Sounds like the same mode on the Monaro.

Yep, the Monaro does it too. Its been posted up before.

It's just a diagnostic mode by the looks of things, showing you the value of various sensors - nothing magic or special about it really. Hidden 'God mode', or 'Police mode' talk gets people excited once in a while. The IT guys might get the God mode reference if they've been following Windows 7 blogs

Without spending the time to look into it I'd call bs on this one!

They do have Police mode. It has to be set by the Tech2 machine. It locks in a digital speedo on the display under the dials and a few other things too. Unsurprisingly it was used by the Police!
The mode up thing gives a few other features that are explained on the internet somewhere. The digital rev counter I have found useful in the past. The last press of the button I remember is to check all the globes on the dash!

yeah the windows 7 stuff is an interesting one, havent had a chance to experiment yet to see if I can prevent it using group policy. little darlings at the school will take advantage of it if I dont work out how to lock it down. pain in the ass these "features" when you've got potentially 1100 hackers inside your network that love finding ways to annoy the IT staff!!!!!!

you might not be able to prevent that feature but you can stop access to all the components it list's. there is many ways for restricting what users have access to. but unfortunately there is always one smart ass that can work they way round the lock downs or cause enough damage to upset the IT stuff.

I stand corrected! So they allow you to calibrate the speedometer, I guess that makes sense. It would be more exciting if it remapped the engine and unfurled all sorts of gizmos from the dash area!

Haha, I feel your pain. At least the artists at our place don't _try_ to break things
