Not-So-Obvious GX Features
Our GX is less than a month old. Just discovered that it has an automatic ignition. That is, you can turn the key to the start position and release; the ignition will continue to crank until the engine starts. Has anyone else discovered any other not-so-obvious feature?

Press the remote control once, then twice and then hold...all windows and the sunroof will roll open.
For the ones with the cd changer, hold the up/down button on the sterring wheel and it will skip to the next cd

ac outlet is great
We do not have the rear entertainment option. What I do for long trips is plug in our 13"TV/VCR combo into the AC outlet behind the second row and it's instant entertainment center. Record six hours of cartoon network and plug in the tape and headphones and little ones love it.

funny consequences
I've gotten used to that auto start with the ignition. Now when I get in my X5 I do that and it doesn't turn over. I have to keep paying attention to which car I'm in. Same with the windshield wipers. I keep waiting for the X5 to turn them on (I know, some X5's have the auto wipers, mine doesn't).
