Coding the E53 with NCS expert

Hello.

I tried to do some coding for some features that I thought I might like. I got a hold of something called ediabas and ncs expert, and after a ton of reading plunged into the coding. First, I saved the original read-out of the original factory (or as I bought the car) settings.

My goal was to:

remove the amber corner lights when the lights are on - did that
make the angel eyes turn on with the engine (a la DRL) - could not do that
remove the "ding-ding" when the key is left in the ignition - did that
allow power windows to roll up/down when doors are open - could not do that
have the panorama roof close when rainsensor catches rain - could not do that (but now I lost one touch roof close!!)
auto lock doors when reaching certain speed - could not do that
there were a few other things in the list of possible items marked "activ/nicht_activ" that sounded very tempting but changing them into the opposite value did not yield any desired results. I wonder, if I achieved any undesired results, but so far nothing fell off the car - I kept my eyes in the rearview mirror... lol...

Any opinions? any suggestions? I realize, that I am opening myself wide open, but please, keep the remarks PG-13 and kosher.... hahaha
