Default You know what would be cool....and a question

This car is sooo cool.

Here are a few things I would add though.

Voice climate control
Remote car starter as standard
Map and Consumption split screen toggle
Voice window and sunroof option.
Optional buitl-in Ipod interface that can be controlled from the steering wheel.
Voice option to move to your next programmed channel

Have I missed anything?

Is there any way to get rid of the agreement/warning when you activate the Nav?


Thanks

Byron

Excellent idea about the Map/Consumption split-screen.

While we're dreaming:

Add Consumption/Energy to voice recognition codes. (I find myself using these two screens most. -- Still learning how to drive TCH to get best FE.)

When they add voice Climate Control (right, like that's going to happen
), add a voice control button to front passenger area so they could control their temperature.

I'm showing my age, but add foot switch (like old hi-beam dimmer switch), and wire it in parallel to steering wheel voice control switch. (Come to think of it, I may just make a personal mod for this myself.)

John, sorry for off topic post, but i remember an early '60s Ford that my couisin had where the hi-beam switch and the windshield washer switch were both on the floor, it was hilarious to see which you did, wash the windshield or change the hi-beams... We certainly have come a long way!

I know many of you will not have a clue as to what I am talking about, but the OLD Buick's used to have a 'seek and destroy' radio station changing button on the floor.
Even older than that was the Studebaker with the starter button on the floor..
Wait a minute.. I've got a starter button...!! imagine that!.

I have one of those old Buicks grazing in my yard. It was called the wonder bar. Early version of the seek feature. The switch is just under the brake pedal.
