How about a thread on useful features that are new to the TL but not commonly known?

I'll start with:

You are driving during the day and turn on the headlights. Now the Navi switches to night mode and is difficult to read. Push the "max" button on the left of the steering wheel and the dash lights switch to maximum, and the Navi switches to "day" mode so it is easy to see. Push "max" again and the dash lights toggle back to the original brightness setting and the Navi goes into "night" mode.

Inside the trunk lid there is a recessed place you can pull to close the trunk without having to touch the outside of the trunk lid.

Another one I saw posted somewhere earlier today. The sun visors slide on the rod so you can change their position horizontally.

How about the ability to ask the Navi "What time is it" and a read back of the current time (my kid's favorite).

Also, that the Navi unit automatically adjusts the clock for Daylight Savings Time (can be switched off for states that do not adjust such as AZ).

Navi unit clock auto adjusts to time zones using the GPS to signal when it goes across time zones.

Those alone make the Navi system worth the extra cost (LOL)

 

I just spent the weekend in Seattle with a Hertz rental (upgraded from a Mazda to a Jag XJ8, but that's another story). Drove north to Vancouver. As soon as I restarted the engine after getting my passport stamped the Hertz nav switched from miles to km. Gotta love that.

Now if only a nav system could convert the dollar bills in my wallet into loonies and the six-pack of watery American beer in the trunk into .... well, watery Canadian beer.

 

Damn $2000 is worth a navi that reads time lol

 

Correction, that's weak ass watery american beer into Canadian Beer!

 

We have a Pro-Canadian Here

 

that was my first post, i'm glad i used it well
