in the very latest CC's they changed the normal wiring and replaced it with this new fangled Multiplexing , just think of it as fly by wire, similar sort of thing they use in aeroplanes.

if you press your horn, does it sound straight away if so you HAVEN'T got mutliplexing wiring BUT if there is a very short pause then the horn sounds the you HAVE the multiplexing wiring.

please do a search as i think that someone posted a link to explain it all

Sorry for sounding thick much what is the advantage of multiplexing as i'm sure a delay in it doing stuff ain't one and i haven't noticed any other differences

In my understanding , because the car carries out its functions via a processor the functions can be greatly inproved , whereas when you turn your lights off on a 'normal' car they go off but due to a processor being used the software running it can be programmed to incorporate a time delay . Also the same is true with windows etc , the switch for the windows is just a contact which then provides an input to the proceesor which then provides an output to the window motor , threfore eliminating any hardwired 'logic'................. i think

Your last post went up at 6.58 am julia - early riser or is the clock just buggered?

If this reduced unlocking distance is intentional then it is good coz on my old hatchback the number of times i would (or worse, someone else!) be playing with my key in the pub, and one of the regulars would come in and tell me my car was having a fit outside!

I can open/close mine from about 20 metres away while sat in my bedroom. Must be carefully in future
