Wha?
Damn phone, lol What I meant to type was that I see people driving well talking on their phones. I know some of these cars have to come with HFL's(bluetooths) which I've driven a bit too close for my comfort on the freeway when they swerve side to side or cut me off or just stop suddenly when their is no traffic up ahead. I pass around and bam on their phone.
I use my HFL all the time, I hope everyone who doesnt use the HFL use at least a Bluetooth headset.

^^^ yes

when you press the unlock once and hold it the second time it rolls the windows down....
when you insert the key and lock once and hold the key in lock the second time they roll up....i think it was a feature to close all your windows/roof but they should have given that feature to the key....

none the less you can get the KP Window Roll up module and accomplish the same....press the lock 2 times with a gap of 1/2 a second and boom everything rolls up !!! best $60 i have ever spend on the car....

^^ yeah but wat i was trying to say was what is the point of rolling all windows down? the only reason i can think of is when it gets too hot in summer, it allow us to let the hot air exit the car before the passenger gets in

Ohhhhhh. I use it for something else. Not to be a homo or a germa-fobe but I a small bottle of hand sanitizer in each pocket. I think its great for that and fits perfect. I put my sunglasses under the radio deck and it fits perfect in there with the lid closed.

That's the point. It's nice to be able to roll down the windows when I'm parked outside before I go out and get in.

If only the key fob had more range it would be more effective of airing out the car before you get there but for me you pretty much have to be in line of sight which doesn't allow much time.

XM, fucking useless.
Fog lights, useless, but they look cool so I use em.
Tape deck, oooooooo that tape deck cover, so crisp and new.

I use damn near everything else you guys say you don't. Heated seats, mirrors, gps, cd, radio, aux, hands free...

The storage compartments on the front doors, also never really used the tape deck until very recently when I found some of my old cassette tapes. Haven't used the HFL in a couple years either.

-side mirror defoggers. I literally used them for the first time this winter once since buying the car in Feb '11.
-rear view auto dim (i've got like 5% limo tint. Only if i get a lifted truck with HIDs behind me do I turn it on).
-cassette player

i love the HFL. So handy. Only thing I wish for in my 2004 is that I could import my address book. Other than the 3 people I programmed in I can just initiate the call on my Galaxy nexus.

I'm gonna have to say the tape player, homelink because I don't have a garage and navi voice commands.

I use the heated seats in winter time and the heated mirrors for the mornings when dew is still sitting on them.

1. Tape Player
2. XM Radio (Radio should be free!)

I used tape player once to listen to snoop dogg - doggystyle. I still have a coupld tapes laying around lol ok. That was to verify it worked.

My navi is locked as well so its hard for me to fully utilize all the features from previous owner locking it. Especially phone link.

I use the trunk lock - lock glove-box when I go out of town so thieves cant get into trunk. But I usually travel with weapons. All it does is lock the button under the steering wheel so you can lock glove box. Kinda like the key on the fuel door / trunk on older honda's.

I need to use homelink.

I have KPTechnologies window roll-up module so I love getting out of car and having windows roll up as I am walking away. And when its 115 degrees outside I roll windows down as walking towards car.
