When I bought my car,(1st new car in 14 years) the first thing I did was to read the manual. What I have noticed over time on this website was that some people finding out unique things about our cars though this site, and not the manual. Such examples are:

1. rolling down the windows with the keyfob
2. The valet switch on in the glove box to kill the trunk release button
3. Ejecting all or loading all CD's by holding down the corresponding button on the radio

These things are in the manual but some things are not. Here I would like to post a thread to were all those too lazy to read the manual can get a quick fix of "hey, I didn't know that!"

Here is my contribution:

4. If you hold the track advance on the steering wheel controls for more than a few seconds, while listening to a CD, it will advance to the next CD in the tray.

 

very nice now i just need some new cds

 

You forgot to mention if you hold the display button for x amount of seconds, you'd get scrolling text from the stations or cd.

 

i tried that w/the mp3 cd.. you don't get stinkin scrolling text on the titles. it bugs me a lot

 

+1 I want the damn scrolling

 

I did not know that...........Got to go check it out.

What does it do? Explain?

 

While you're there grab the manual. It's faster for you to read it than for someone else to type it.

 

i dont believe any year has scrolling text..but i could be wrong..

 

Yea you have to press the display again to move it manually. Can't have it all

 

ya, where is KPtech with the "make my head unit display scroll by itself-modification"?

The real mod is: kill laziness

but whatevs!

 

How do you get the windows to go down with the remote?

 

press and hold the unlock button

 

this is why I started the thread, for people to add in any unique things about our cars that some people are too lazy to read about

thanks for the add on

 

if u lock your door with a key and hold it in that position the windows will roll up.

 

in my 05 6mt fully loaded coupe, there is a on off switch in the lockable glove box to turn off or on the truck release button next to the VDC switch.
The benifits of this is that you dont want your trunk opened by the valets to check out your pumping stereo, so you turn off the switch and lock the glove box, and ta dah! cant open the trunk unless you unlock the box and flip the switch. ( this only works if you only give them the valet key )

try it, its a nice feature when needed.
