how about climate concierge on lexus? anyone else done that ever?

so if turned on, just by setting the climate temp, the car will also automatically turn on appripriate levels of seat warming/cooling. love it. don't know if it does anything else.

My D4s can do so if I want them to, I only have it controlling the heated wheel. I would need to code it for the seats to auto adjust heaters/fans but I have no interest in that since it's easy enough to just hit the controls, I did however alter the wheel heat offset amount to +10 over requested cabin temp since I prefer to actually noticeably feel the wheel heater.

Honda had a similar feature with its Lane Watch system, but for the passenger blind spot only. It was nowhere near as slick as this and the video came up on the nav screen, not in the instrument cluster.

^^^ I agree. I also like the camera-display in the instrument-cluster like that.
