Just note that using that small pocket guarantees launching of said wallet, keys or phone should you forget they're there and need to stop in a more aggressive fashion than even the most modest of levels.

While it's kinda cool to take the SIM out of my phone and use it there, I don't use it. I installed a ProClip holder for my phone and bluetooth it instead. I seem to remember someone saying the SIM in the car does have better reception in the car SIM slot than if you use it inside in the phone due to the car body being a big ground plane for the antenna. Not sure of that however.

In the car screen of the PCM you can customize it to show telemetry information.

I've gotten it to claim 1G of braking and 0.7G of acceleration in my CD. I think 0.6 is the best I've seen cornering.

Not sure how accurate it really is, but its fun to play with

Goto the CAR screen, then into options. From there I'm fuzzy, but it's rather obvious from there. There are 4 lines you can configure similar to the Info display on the MFD (but more/different options).

For the CD drivers, skip the "miles to next gas station" option. It likes to point me to stations with no diesel

Almost everything is on the manual but I guess no one has actually read it thoroughly.
Which interior light buttons? Dome?

I knew the horseshoe was adjustable, but my 2 year old showed me yesterday that the map lights are adjustable too.

Turn them on and then press and hold again. The light goes out and then comes back on dimmer.

Who doesn't like the footwell lights at night? I have found a way to turn them off and keep the other LEDs and horseshoe on.

In the overhead console, there are two buttons for interior lighting, one for all the interior lights and the other one for the interior LEDs. To do this, while the door is opened and all the interior lights are on, press the first button (all interior button) to switch them off. Then just close the door. This way you'll have all the LEDs and horseshoe on except the footwell lights.

The only downside is the interior lights will not switch on when you open the door again. Personally, I like to have some lighting when I open the door. I use the reading lights for this. Just press and switch the reading lights on before closing the door in the process above. Once you close the door, they'll go off.

Hope this will be useful for some owners .

when you do a snapchat video and you want to silence the music and listen to the video you've taken, just double click on volume button on steering wheel the you can listen to the video without the music.
