Dealer-required computer tricks?
Well my G55 that was supposed to have come in today didn't show up; this is the second time it hasn't shown up so I let the dealer know my dissatisfaction not with it not showing up but twice being told it would be arriving and it not. They said they'd tint the front windows for free if I'd like, whatever.
So anyway, while I anxiously await the vehicle, I was thinking, are there things you can have the dealer do in the computer that are commonly requested or desirable? For example, on a Boxster I had a few year ago you could have the dealer set the computer to automatically lock the doors when the speed first exceeded 15 mph and I also had them set it so that when you go into reverse, the passenger rear view drops down to view the curb automatically. Are there similar things that require their help to do with the G that I should look at?

Good luck on the wait.

It really is the trucking company, I've had the VIN for a week or two. I didn't believe them either so I said I want the VIN and to know where it's coming from and to get the trucking company on the phone while I sat there. It's coming from a dealer in Massachusetts and had 9 miles when it left, so it better have 9 when it gets here.
