According to a recent Federal DOT report, DRLs have proven to be pointless. As predicted, when all cars have DRLs they will all get ignored by drivers. Same thing would occur if everyone had a flashing red lights on top of their vehicle. Pretty soon it just gets ignored as just more visual noise.

I was wondering were does the MMI screen get the Owners Manual information to display? When you switch on that option, sure enough under the CAR menu, there was a "manual" selection in the top right corner, but then it asks for the CD Rom to be put into the CD player?

I have searched for such a CD and found no such evidence of one anywhere?

Anyone have any insight to this?

IIRC there was supposedly a CD distributed with them early on--like first year or so--but then it vaporized. I had a CD I thought might contain it, but it was just a marketing type presentation on CD.

Not gonna lie, I feel cheated having being an early buyer and supporter early on. Now I have to either pay ten bucks for a week, which should be a month, or $40 for a year.

- we'll take a look at the suspension height adjustment, but I can't promise anything yet
- what else would you guys like to see?
Quick question, I didn't see an option to do the rear pads, or an option to pay any additional money. Where are these options located?

I think the rear pads option is under the Service menu.
