Question:

The Bluetooth Audio screen on ML equipped vehicles have a different layout from the Standard Bluetooth Audio screen ?

glad to see that it works though but yea dont rely on that to be safe...the manual also states it's not meant for detecting pedestrians...

I put my owners manual and all related paperwork in a one gallon zip lock bag and strapped it down in the right rear corner of the trunk.

yep, safety thing. Don't want people randomly opening your gas tank cover to siphon it out or pour sugar or something in there.

Which is why Ford's boggle my mind. They don't even have a screw cap now. Just a lid that doesn't lock and anybody can access the gas tank at any point.

Another boggle is domestic cars and their love for using the reverse light as a light when unlocking the vehicle.

My salesperson showed me that when I got the car, but I completely forgot about it. Does it only work on FM radio? I don't think I noticed it on satellite radio.
