All the controls at night have green back-light.

I guess it jumped out at me in the car I have now because it's so dark and doesn't have the illumination from the navigation screen.

Thanks for the reply.

Can you pull this up? Do you mean the bottom part has green back lighting?
Correct, and the buttons up on either side of the nav screen, window buttons, steering wheel buttons, console buttons, etc.

Bought the white one, brought it home Friday night. I did find a tiny tear in the leather on the middle console but other than that it's perfect. They gave me brand new dark mats, an extra remote (that I haven't picked up yet) w/key fob covers, and the little cleaning kit.

I want to tint the windows - know there's an endless thread here about it but I did not find one person w/a white exterior/tan interior that had tinted.. anyway and it was advertised as having a leather steering wheel and shift ****, which it doesn't, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. Or, I may still try to find a leather shift ****. I really like the way it looks and feels.

Thank you. I'm very pleased. And I have driven (no pun intended) my friends absolutely nuts, so I'm glad it's over and they are too! :-)

You will enjoy the Mark Levinson sound system, way better than the stock. And the memory passenger seats. Had a 2007 Ultra, now have 2011 Premium version. Miss the above options.

awesome looks great Congrats Love the interior Combo
i was looking at a white one when i got my 07
but the main thing that put me away from it at the same time was
how dirty the white gets

so i ended with the royal ruby red
but the interior combo i think it awesome i always love the tan and creams with a darker top level

Thanks for the compliments. I like the red a lot, and you don't see it much.

Salesman called today and we set up an appt for me to go Thursday to get my windows tinted. He's going to drive his wife's car so I can see what it looks like. I def want them tinted (to keep out the UV's, mainly) but want to keep it classy. They're going to put me in a loaner for a couple of hours, then when I get back he said he'll program my phone and re-fill the tank.. and they're going to detail it again - such good customer service. I love it!

make sure they aren't going to do the tint job with some cheap film that might only last a year ask how long the warranty on it is
also try to not get films that have metalic in the might interfair with the gps and radio antenas signals might get screwy
