Hi there, I am missing feature to set a motor to specific angle by pressing a button. I have a gearbox controlled by PU L-motor, so I would like to have a button for each gear - motor in exact angle. I was able to implement that in PoweredApp, but got stuck when tried to do it in BrickController2. Is this feature planned?

Yes, available for free on Rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/users/gamayun/mocs/

I finally got to publish my modifications. There are several of them: Functional door lock with minimalistic design: Hood lock & holder rod. Lock is loose enough to be able to pull hood by hand without too much pressure, but stiff enough to hold hood closed in case of flipping model upside down. Also, handle to release the lock is hidden in front bumper - not sticking out, but still accessible to push it with fingertip. Reworked rear door closing mechanism to make it as small as possible. And also fixed wrong rotation required to open the doors. Last but not least, I squeezed Powered up motors & hub (from set 42099) into chassis to make it a RC model, while kept fake engine in place. First version was just connecting original gearings to motors, but the weight of model made it impossible to move without cracking the gears. Hub found its place instead of rear seats. (https://youtu.be/hMPyRmdqvRo) In second version I kept only HI-LO selector and bypassed 4gear transmission and DNR selector from drivetrain, so it was able to move whole model. The gearbox worked only to change speed of fake engine. Hub was still in place of rear seats. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79HWYCkU9eM) The speed and torque of second model was so terrible, that it could be considered only as "show off model". So I rethink whole thing once again and designed whole chassis anew, so it would be able to be played with - thus with some appropriate speed and also enough torque to climb over some obstacles. To achieve that, I got rid of all original gearings and built drivetrain from scratch. The result is 2 speed gearbox (operated manually via handle in cockpit), with locking central diff in first gear. Chassis was reinforced on several places, some modifications to suspension was required to support additional weight as well., Removing original gearbox made enough space to fit hub below rear seats, so there are only cosmetic visual changes to original model. Also, as for previous versions, motors are detachable, so model can be still operated manually - also HOG wheel is still working (selecting neutral to disengage power motors, manually pulling out axle to disengage steering motor). Replacing batteries is easy, they are accessible by opening rear doors and lifting rear seats up (https://youtu.be/khJoDcJBcyM). The hub can be turned on via lever hidden behind rear wheel. Full model with instructions is available for free on Rebrickable. I own only 2 sets - which I bought just to make this model :) so some elements of build may not be the best, but given very limited parts, I am quite proud if it.
