This one is kinda silly but for those of you with Navi and Voice Recognition, it'll save you a few words on the navigation commands. :D

Owner's Manual tells you to say: Hotel at current location
But you can just say: Hotel location

Owner's Manual tells you to say: Hotel at destination
But you can just say: Hotel destination

This also works for Parking Lots, Gas Stations, Restaurants, etc. :)

I just ran a wire from the back of the radio that has power only when the ignition is on. Then I just disconnected the power wire on the socket and butt connected the one from the radio. I leave the Ipod connected to the socket and it turns the Ipod on when I start the X. Then I just have to hit the pause button on the way out of the X. The Ipod will shut down a minute later. Rob

Since I'm not technically inclined, I got the flashlight to Cigarette adapter for ~$15. The flashlight socket is switched so it turns off when the car does. I also got a socket triplicator. There is an opening on the back left hand side of the glove box if you want to pass the plug through.

I replaced the flashlight with an LED Lifelite. Much brighter and reliable. 7 year shelf life.

The sunroof has one too.. It overreacts on my 330.. Sometimes when I hit the button so the sunroof auto-closes, it will stop about half way and start moving backwards. I think the air resistance activates the strip.

Post pics of the GS!

Also, weren't you parting out your car not too long ago?

Drew when did you sell the GS??? Man that thing was sharp. BTW I love the M3 SMG wheel!

Yeah it can be irritating. The only real problem I've had with it was once when I hit the close sunroof button and assumed it was closed. It ended up staying about 3/4 of the way open and, of course, while I was away from the car there was a rain storm!
