We changed quiet a bit...the coolest mod (BY FAR) are the ventilated seats (which are also heated and ortopedic adjusteable)...

heated/cooled seats
Those lights must show the status of the seats and if they are set to heat or cool....

Very nice....

right on...since the heated switch is used for heating (push tophalf) or cooling (push bottomhalf) the LEDs moved to the side of the switch...3 stages for cooling (blue LED) and 2 stages for heating (red LED)...and when needed - cooling and heating can be used at the same time...

Never been in a "hot seat" before....I didn't think it was a Parktronic. Since I know many of you guys don't have it, here's what my sensors look like (also one in the middle console above the centre AC vents and a pair in the back as well)........

The taxi button turns on the meter in the rear-view mirror. It's a pretty sweet little euro only option. :0)

Yep, you're right! It turns on the cab fare meter which displays in the rear view mirror. Pretty cool, huh? Thanks, glad you like the wheels :0) I've been getting a very good reaction from the new look of the car.
