2020 G63 Manual
Noticed 2 important things incorrect in the manual....

What is the quickest/easiest way activate the 360 camera ? The manual says there should be a dedicated button on the left hand side of the steering wheel - but no luck. Only a row of empty buttons.

Engine start using the Connect app should be limited to 2 times (@ 10 mins each) before needing to use the physical key. However, the actual app only allows 1 time - anyone else have that issue ?

I’ve never started the engine more than once before driving, from the app. It’s not good for the engine to be idling so long, not to mention a waste of gas...why would you want to idle for more than 10 min?

Real feel yesterday was 9 degrees in NYC....Once isn’t enough to heat the interior.

I’m in Toronto, it heats fast! Even in -20C with wind chill, I don’t feel the need to start more than 10 min before leaving.

I do like it toasty...but I can’t complain considering your in Toronto. Ouch.
But the manual still says 2x for some reason, which is incorrect, per my G.

Right, good observation.
Now by the thermometer it’s never below about 12F in Toronto, just to be clear!

my 19 stayed on for 10mins. Haven’t tried to activate it twice in a row though so don’t know about the max limit.

Damn!!!
2020 went backwards.

Do you have a 360degree camera button near the parktronic button ?
