Funny thing too...It freaked my wife out! The ICE ON/ICE OFF. LOL

What a fun car! Gotta learn all about the NAV now.

You know...that SKS thing...it's really neat man.
I found myself digging my keys out here and there and then had to think "oh yeah, I don't need those" TOO COOL!

I was giving it commands (don't have em memorized yet) and uh...well...I better go read some more. LOL

Thanks everybody here! It really helped seal the deal.

Aaron

Oh Yeah...the name.........."Sparky".

And the NAV............"Bitchin Betty" (that's what we used to call the voice in the F-16 Fighting Falcon...."warning..warning", "pull up, pull up" LOL
I was a Crew Chief on it and the Stealth Fighter in the USAF (8 years). Good time!

Yeah, I remember having to get used to the key thing but now it's second nature. All you need is to have the key on you somewhere and the car is happy. You also really have to work at it to lock your keys in the car. It hasn't let me do so yet

I have mine set for the doors to trigger the lights... all I have to do is get CLOSE with the keys and my car lights up. It has spoiled me.



(mines an '05 though)

Congrats on the new car.

I'd be surprised if they changed it. It works on my '05 if the inside lights are set to "Door". When you walk up to the side of the car, the lights fade on. It really anthropomorphizes the thing (as if we need any more of that); it makes you think that it's getting excited about being driven.

Oh, ok, maybe it was doing it and I didn't notice (daylight, gonna go run and see now)

I did set it to unlock all doors. I'm making progress.
