I added but it does not work. Also change <metorcolor> config to "0x04 (Red)" but still not work :)
I took a look into a Type R modelinf.xml (NR-000UH8CEG0-T)
and it had
<MetorColor>0x00</MetorColor>
Maybe you should try 0x00 instead. Or why did you say 0x04 is red?

By the way just out of curiosity, what happens when you change your <Destination> to KG (Germany)? Do you still have the keyless access beep option?
Changing mine from KG to KC didn't affect the available options

I changed it to 0x04 and it displayed "red" in Vehicle Model Info. I also changed <Destination> to KG and still have keyless access beep option. There might be something else controls this feature or could it be a hardware missing?

Then it appears to be fully controlled by the ECU, I dont know if there's a way via HDS

Really interested in this topic since i'd love to be able to enable the option that changes between miles per hour and kilometers per hour, which is something euro civics have disabled, would be nice to compare differences with an UK civic

Can you upload your modelinf.xml file here, so we can compare it with the ones from non-Type R cars? I think you can access it with the X-Plore app that comes with Honda Hack

Sorry for the late reply. Yea, do you know where that file is located?. Is it in the root directory? I can prob search for it from within the app.
