Remember EcoPro/Comfort/Sport & boot/trunk opening

I check every now and again but has anyone managed to crack the 'remember last setting' for EcoPro, Comfort and Sport/Sport+ yet? I've done it for the ASS but remembering which drive mode I was in would be the icing on the cake. I know this is asked fairly frequently but I thought one more time wouldn't hurt.

Another setting I'd like, opening just the boot/trunk with the button on the key fob. Currently pressing that pops the boot/trunk and unlocks all the doors. I'd like to limit it to just the boot/trunk. I guess the alarm would have to be disabled (partially?) temporarily too like on other brands that have this function.

Anyone?

I don't know for sure, but I suspect setting a default of Sport/Sport+ is not possible.

Why? Because there's a boolean (true/false) setting for ECO Pro as the default. If it's set, you get ECO Pro at start up. If not, you get Comfort.

Given that particular option, there isn't a very logical way you could have other modes selectable as defaults. You can't have two or more boolean settings for the same function without mutual exclusion.

Now, I'm just extrapolating here, I don't actually know that it's impossible yet. It just doesn't look promising.

I would like this function as well as I often go to the boot when my car is locked. I had this function on several of my previous cars and always found it useful.
