What are some of your never used gadjets?
My list is compliled of things very seldom or not at all used.
Climate control- Maybe adjusted four times tops, always set at 73*
Rear view mirror tint off feature- Really? Why?
Pedals- Once when I bought the car.
Seats adjustment- Perhaps twice a year because of the wife.
Key holes in doors and truck- Never once.
Parking brake- never once.
Rear defrost- Not in the last three years.
Mirror adjust- Nope.
Truck lock- we have one right???
Steering wheel heater controls- Check first on list.
Map lights- Nope, Never.
Automatic headlights- Nada
Winshield washer- Not in three years atleast, perhaps I should check this.
Rarely carry cargo
Lumbar adjust- once
I'm sure there is many many more things I am forgeting, I was just thinking of this the other day and wondering why I haven't had any of the known problems like many have had like, LCM, Climate control, air susp., parking brake, wacky wipers, ETC.
Funny thing is, I was thinking about this right before my headlights failed to come on for a second or two the other night.:mad: Is this when everything starts to break? Maybe its time for a new car.:P

I regularly fondle all the doodads in the car. I am forever adjusting the seats, and mirrors. I think the only thing I don't use is the key holes. And who's got a heated stearing wheel? AwesomE!!

Driver lumbar- hasn't worked since seat bottom replacement
Homelink- no garage or gated to program in
window lock- only if some other passenger plays with the window switch
I have a 3rd power point but it is not wired in yet
my auto dimming mirror does not have an off button but for a while I had a large convex mirror hooked to it.
