So what options don't you use?
My GS is pretty much full options. I thought it would be nice to have all those little gadgets. But after a period of time I am noticing some of them I simply don't use:
1. Adaptive cruise control
Where is the normal cruise control, I want it back! Here in the Netherlands traffic is quite busy. Everytime someone slots in front of me, it starts braking and keeping a huge distance (even at the minimal setting). Also when approaching a car on the right lane, with a big speed difference, it starts slowing/braking down before I am willing to change lanes.
2. Night vision
The idea was nice, but in general I don't have the time to be staring at the screen. So this one also is not being used a lot.

ad ACC: You can switch from the adaptive mode to the "normal". After switching on ACC button move controller forward. It disables "adaptive" function and you will have the non-adaptive one.
ad NightView: It is useless for me too. In BMW or Merc is it done better because when system recognize any object like pedestrian or animal there is a notification on HUD or flashing "!" on the display together with beep. So you don't need keep watching because of alerts.

I think it's standard, but I never use the sunshade.
Sometimes I wonder if I had DRCC and LKA if I would actually use it? I don't care for the mole on top of the steering column that comes with it though.

I rarely use the apps. I just pull over and use my smartphone if I need to find a business, then input the address into the car's nav. I prefer playing my own music, so the internet radio gets no use.

I don't have DRCC on the GS, but we do have it on the Jeep and use it all the time on the highway, trips, etc.
Options I don't use:
1. Sport S+ Mode
2. Apps
3. Rear sunshade/side sunshades

I have the cold weather package. This means I also get the headlamp washers. I have only used it once just to test it out and never ever needed to use it again. I think its a novelty item on this car. I can understand if you have a SUV and do offroading and would need this feature. But even then I highly doubt it can clean mud off of the headlamps without also including wipers too. Also I never had the need to press the SOS button but it does make me feel tempted to try it.

1) Enform apps
2) Power windows LOL ... I can't stand wind noise so I rarely ever roll the windows down.
