Default Easter eggs...features not listed in the manual (x-post)

Are there any unlisted features you've stumbled upon other than the VAG reprogramming of convenience features such as:
1. Auto-locking doors at speed
2. Open/Close windows, sunroof with remote
3. Removing select lock/unlock feature
4. Removing seatbelt chime (on MY2004 and newer)

I noticed on the Avant, if you just unlock the hatch and upon closing, the alarm chirps and reactivates without the remote.

Other features listed in the manual I really like are:
1. storage trays underneath the front seats
2. little sunvisor flap above the rear view mirror (standard on vw's too)
3. the grocery bag hooks in the trunk (sedan)

Features I really hate:

1. Useless front cup holder!!!!
2. 24 hour clock

Any others that I've missed? For example, I know that on the mercedes, if you press and hold the recirculation button on the climate control, it activates the "tunnel" feature and closes all windows and sunroof. Depressing and holding the recirc button again will return the windows in the last opened position. I wonder if we can VAG this feature?

Default how can you do the 24 hour clock w/out turning it on to the UK programming

GTakacs figured it out and it is a VAG mod. However, you have to program the car to the UK to get the 24 hour time. My only beef with that is it turned my nav from an American accent to a British accent...which I can't stand. Also, the UK gallons are different than American gallons, so your average fuel consumption indicator is not accurate.

Have you guys figured out another way to code the clock w/out messing up the other stuff?

Actually, just play with the mode button - it's easily done in my 02
