It works in Eco-Pro mode only, one of the coding mods enables a new 'coasting mode' tick box on the Eco-Pro set up set up screen. There's also a new odometer on the Efficient Dynamics status screen that shows the distance coasted though this does not work with the coding done so far (indicates zero miles) - more research needed to get this working!
Here's a video showing the Efficient Dynamics status screen with the coasting mods done (sorry for the poor video quality, it was made whilst driving!):

Once this mode is enabled and you select Eco-Pro driving mode the car will 'coast' when you're above 30mph and back off the throttle. It's clever enough (in the UK anyhow) to use sat-nav / speed limit data to know when coasting should be disabled to allow the engine to slow the car down i.e. it puts the car back in gear to facilitate engine braking!
I've seen several Eco-Pro 'driving tips' on the display telling me to back off the throttle since there's a lower speed limit ahead, in this case the sailing mode seems to be inhibited.
Coasting mode
is disabled when cruise control is enabled.
This has certainly been one of my more interesting coding sessions!
You're more than welcome @opasha
