List those hidden features!
I have discovered many hidden features on the car and was wondering what else I am missing. Here is what I have discovered by myself or through the threads as some of these were not in the manual.
1) A membrane switch under the trunk lid above the license plate that will open the trunk from the outside without having to go to the trunk release button on the fob/or door.
2) A key lock hidden in the child seat "Latch" cover on the drivers side rear seat up on the shelf. This will lock out access to the car from the trunk or vice versa.
3) The rear view mirror will automatically go down if you leave the mirror switch left in the far right position, it will not if you leave it any other way.
4) The car will relock itself if you activate the unlock button but do not open any doors within 30 seconds thinking that you accidently unlocked the car.
5) You can auto roll down all windows and sunroof by holding the unlock key fob after pressing it once for 5 seconds (Cannot reverse it though).
6) The fuel door lid will not open if you have the car locked.
7) You can disable the trunk switch on the door from inside the glove box.
8) There are all kinds of tricks with the Nav system to go into a diagnostic mode, I have yet to try some of these.
Others????

Can't wait to drive
As for #5, you can't remotely close windows to prevent you from strangling/killing/injuring someone remotely, but you can close all of them at once. Use your key in the driver door, turn to lock, release, then turn to lock and HOLD, and all the windows and moonroof will close. You have to be there in case some screams bloody murder (partial*)
#4 you can set the time-out period for the auto relock in the MID
#1 only works if ALL doors are unlocked, and not just the driver side door (*)
(*)carryover features from 1st gen TSX

Thanks for the help on #8. This feature opened the doors to many elements, I can finally clear off the message that I had on an erroneous VSA error message. Also, you can get to the Satalites with speed by going the same enter feature as you had listed, followed by Detail info, then unit check, then GPS then go and highlight the information icon.
Thanks for the help.

I can't speak to #8 as I don't have Nav and thus never looked at that part of the manual. But I otherwise read the manual cover to cover, and every one of the first 7 items are mentioned in there.

New here......thought I'd add that on a Tech car, you can adjust the brightness of your review camera by turning the zoom in/out dial......especially helpful when it's dark out......

No! Are you kidding? I have been thinking my camera was going dead or something. I can't wait to try this!
