I know they are not well thought of, but I would like to retro fit if possible...but is it ?

They're crap

If you have the plain button, retrofit the newer, round metal button.

I wish I could bloody get mine to work!

On cars with it fitted as standard, there is no memory seat buttons for the driver. That means, I can't set a preset for my preferred seating position or anything.

Grrr...

Yes you can. You need to activate the menu so the key moves the seat and mirrors when you open the door.

It's a bit of a gimmick really - cool to tell people you have it but if it was a good idea the other manufacturers would have done the same back in 2003/2004 I say. I think I used it once when I picked the car up, programmed my finger but it changed the mileage to km, all the radio settings and adjusted everything possible to do with the seat so I didn't bother using it after that

, but yes it can be retrofitted.

+1 for retrofitting the facelift chrome Start button

Sadly not with mine. I get a 'System error' every time I try to do anything like that.

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread, but it's vaguely on topic.

Mine had a hissey fit where the finger bit wouldn't work or let me delete or add new users, no end of vcds buggery would fix it.

In the end I had the battery disconnected for 30 mins for something else, and if by magic the fingerprint system started working properly again so i'd give that a go if I were you.
