Default What technological feature can you now not live without?

something the GS has that your next car must have as well.

1) parking sensors + camera + the diagram that shows how close you are
2) traffic speeds on the navigation
3) blind spot sensors

[LIST][*]Icons (Not Text) that correspond with the XM Radio Services - Meaning Channel 51 is BPM - Pull the BPM Icon from the XM site or a a minimum change the Text for the Preset from Preset 1 - CH51 to Preset 1 - XMBPM,
[*]Album Artwork for Bluetooth Audio
[*]Sunglasses Holder.
[*]3-D Maps in Navigation
[*]Surface Roads Traffic Conditions (not just freeway) - Similar to how BWW Handles.
[*]Better more distinctive Exterior LED lighting. Why are the turn signal lights still incandescent?
[*]LTE Cell Option in Car to "Share" Internet with passengers (Audi does this)
[*]Guidance Turning indicators for backup camera that actually MOVES when you turn the wheel!

not actual speeds, but just the green/yellow/red. very useful and accurate. i drive about 40 miles roundtrip in a congested freeway so it has good use for me.

Parking Sensors came to mind….the IS F sport doesn't have the and the first time I almost went right into the Publix waiting to hear a beep Anytime I drive a car without them I have to remind myself to be careful. They are like 2nd nature now….

Parking sensors should be mandatory; the damage they save is incalculable. They are costing body shops a LOT of business.
