Software/hardware for coding the vehicle?

[jmr061]

I have a fix that can be programmed to the vehicle to eliminate the double horn honk.

Yes, this is what I'm talking about
Looking on the link - it's done "ugly" comparing to Audi or to the Bimmer, but at least this is something.
For the pony I would like to add window open/close from the keyfob, fog lights to stay on with the high beam (cannot understand why the heck in the US fog lights turns off when high beam is on - what the practical reason for this?).

You can open/close the windows from the keyfob. I think you just hold the unlock button to open, hold the lock button to close. It's called "global window". You can probably search that if you need more info.

Most states have laws that say you can't have more than 4 forward facing lights used use for "seeing" therefore they kill the fogs. Many cars leave the lows on with the highs. I don't have a mustang so not sure if this is the case with them.

Did anyone figure anything out with this? For me, I'd love to do a couple of things (if possible) with the programming:

1. Disable turning off fog lights with turn signals. For the love of God, why is this necessary??

This was intentional, since the fog lights are so close to the signals, they want to ensure the signal indicator was clearly visible.

You can OPEN the windows from the fob, but can not close them with it.

I know it is intentional, but doesn't mean it isn't dumb

I have had plenty of cars (my Subaru I have now is like this) and can point some out today even that have the turn signals built into the same housing as the headlights, and that has never been an issue. I can "sort of" understand the cars that turn off the DRLs when the turn signals are on, since DRLs are on during daylight so the visibility of the turn signal isn't as easy in daylight. But fog lights are to be used in dusk, dark, or foggy situations...so it actually seems counter-intuitive to turn off a fog light with the turn signal, and makes no sense considering other cars have their turn signals in the headlight housing.
