Calendar and Calculator

I was waiting in my car the other day with some time to kill, so I looked at the Info section. Although I knew the Calendar and Calculator features were there, I had never used them. Does anyone?

Also, when I opened the Calculator, I see that it can do Units Conversion. However, when I selected this, the only conversion that was active was Temperature. All the other unit conversions were greyed out and not selectable.

In terms of Calendar, do newer models sync with Smartphone Calendars?

Owned the car 7 years and have never explored these 2 "features"

I figured the Unit Conversion out. It is a "Smart" calculator (apparently smarter than me).
I selected Unit Conversion without entering any numbers. Thus, it had Zero as the number to convert and Temperature is the only unit that can convert Zero to a non-zero number. If you enter a number in the calculator before selecting Unit Conversion, then all the other types of conversions are selectable.

I use the Calendar a lot and have filled it up many times. When it won't accept any more data then you have to manually delete each item to free up some allocated memory.
I drive to work and enter data to remind me of what to do on the way home or enter maintenance items so that I know what maintenance was done when. I also put Happy Birthday into my wifes MDX so that when she first gets in the car on her birthday it repeats a message to her - "Happy Birthday" with an additional message (that I cannot write on this forum)!

and no, the calendar does not sync with anything.
