Cool "Hidden" features of the E53 X5

[JCAPX5]

Our '06 3.0 DOES have the flashlight.

It also sets off the alarm by holding the turnk-release button on the key (programmable)

Flush-mounted metal bars built into the BACK of the rear seats is for extra stability when using a baby-seat. My wants-to-be-a-mom girlfriend loved that one!

Those are the latch restraints. Works very well IMO.

Does any one knows if that "panic mode" works on every X5 even european versions? I tried dozen times and it does not work on mine. It has alarm and it works, remote key works it blinks but no alarm activation when holding trunk button on key? Maybe is just outside EU versions
Is there way to trick it and enable it?
