But i don't know if there is an option in PIWIS developer mode to do this on your DME model.

Arenared: these dark metallic colors are really difficult to paint. Best is to blend in the new color in old color and do an overall new clearcoat.

From what I researched, there's not much you can do to make them come on at a lower temperature. Some guys are talking about having them hotwired and with a toggle switch so they can manually activate them. I'll probably just run my AC even when I don't need to for now. I would like having the option of running my heater and the fans on high when I want too though.

As for the paint. It's not too bad of a contrast and totally ok for most people. I'm a little picky when it comes to things like that. The rest of the car could use another coat of paint anyway. Especially the hood and front fenders because they have lots of rock chips on them
