Whats this button do?

Ok, you know where your mirror positions joy pad is? like beside the switch that allows you to switch fomr the the right or left mirror, there is a button where it is a picture of a mirror with like wind I guess is blowing towards the mirror. I have no clue what it does.

if u get LED's in your side mirrors.. u could hook it up with that.. if u use a relay switch.. u could probably hook up your mirrors so that they turn on when u push the button.. and when u turn your blinkers on.. it blinks too.. it might take some time re-wiring.. but might be pretty cool

Definately heater. If you live in FLA, you might as well never touch that. As for wiring LEDs, it is the wrong ampres for that. It is set up to power the heater. If you want blinking mirrors, you can't get M3 mirrors with heaters anyway. But with a little wire savy, you could wire the blinker/running lights from the normal fuseable position in the terminal box under the dash. You just run the wires through the same gromits as the other wiring for the power mirror and the heater.

Is it a 3.0 auto... If you got that many miles on it, you are doing something right as far as service. Or, you never shift it. Just keep on the maintenance schedule and you will be fine.

Drive? I remember a while back someone didn't know that the power driver seat had memory, after owning the car like a year, year and a half. They never knew that the seat goes back to it's original setting That's one of my favorite interior features

Home Link... You can program 2 or 3 different remotes for garage doors and house lights, if your house has that. ADT offers a feature on home security systems that will unlock you front door and turn on the porch light from a key FOB... well, you can program the code from the key FOB into your Home Link, and push a button next to your map lights to open your garage and unlock your front door. hahaha

Also, if you push the unlock button and don't open a door, the doors will lock and the alarm will set after 30 second.

That is all I can think of asside from the intermittent wiper feature. You can control the speed sensitivity.

Oh, one other deal I noticed, when you put the climate control on auto, when it is hot out, the reserculate will close the loop until the car cools down, then it will open it for fresh air. I read about it, but didn't notice it untill a few days ago when it was 100 degrees outside.

my moms infiniti has the homelink built into the sunvisor, which is pimp, but i have some ghetto homelink goin on. basically, i took apart my garage door opener, hardwired a line that leads to a push-button on my dash, and then mounted it behind my upper grill. looks real clean.

you talkin about the lever on the right side of the drivers seat? Thats the Lumbar support. pull that lever a few times and the lumbar (back support brace bar) will push out into your back...i think its like 4 clicks to get it the firmest and another like 3 to lossen and soften it...(im really not sure) just try it out...you figure it out...its easy

some things people might overlook or not realise:

No key hole in the trunk...(i think of this as an added saftey feature so no one can just drill through the hole and get inside the trunk)

No exterior antennia (sp?)....makes the car look cleaner and more lux./smooth
