Sorry i came a bit late to the thread.
One tip i didn't see posted is if you press for 3 (5?) secs on the trunk open button the alarm sounds (ie panic button) don't really know if that also cuts the engine, probably not for saftey reasons.

crosvs: to upshift with no clutch, its even easier than downshift.
first WITH CLUTCH :
1) Go at the desired RPM to upshit say 6.5k
2) upshift as fast as you can and note the resulting RPMs. Say 3.5K
Without Clutch:
1) Accel till 6.5K are reached on that same gear (2nd or 3rd usually)
2) ease up on the gas, gearshift "releases" shift to to neutral
3) move gearshift to next gear pushing against it VERY SLIGHTLY (no grinding sound should be heard if done properly. NEVER "push it in")
4) accel to 3.5k or a bit below that (the longer you take the lower the RPMS should be)
5) gear should automagically engage.
Do this a few times and you'll get the feel of the engine's sound so in a while you should be able to do this without looking at the revs.
