I put a AC-DC inverter there...Useful when you want to power something like a computer.

If for whatever reason you don't want your passenger side mirror to rotate down while reversing, say there is a something sticking out at 4 feet, just move the slider (that determines which mirror - right or left) to the passenger side and it will stay where it is.

but if u hold the BC(board computer) button on the turn signal lever where ud check the gas mileage and all that.. if u held that button for 5secs..the navigation screen shows u all the things that show up on that board computer...

so i cancelled everything out, so when i browse through the board computer, it only shows me date,time, and miles left to drive on my tank..
instead of like timer, mpg, arrival date and all that stupid stuff

Alright, here's something funny...now that I know about that extra DC outlet on the passenger side, I'm prone to using it, hahah, even though its a b.... to reach hahaha

The sunroof sensitivity issue mentioned earlier can be fixed. I had the same problem on my 330 and my dealer was able to take care of it. Something is probably not quite seated correctly and the sunroof is meeting some resistance. (It operates like the safety feature of your windows where if it meets resistance, it will stop/open back up a little.)

I can not find it either. My car is RHD X.
