Question Ultra Premium Package Feature questions

In Canada, the Ultra Premium Package is the top of the line model. This should have every feature/options available in Canada (probably except for tow package)

My question is specific to some features:

1. Does anyone in Canada who has this option, know if it has rain sensing wipers? If so is it just speed-sensing when you manually turn it on or is it an actual rain sensing system that turns on when it detects rain?

2. Does it have retractable headlamp washers?

3a. In the Rear Entertainment System with dual screens, can u play 2 different movie sources from the same DVD changer on the front (ML System)?

3b. Can you play a DVD source on one screen and an iPhone movie on the other?

4. How do you find the high-beam system?

5. Does the rear backup camera have a guide line that turns as the vehicle turns in reverse? My M35x has this neat feature.

6. Does the side mirrors tilt down as you put the vehicle in reverse?

7. Lastly, does the passenger side mirror (with camera) also have a welcome lamp (like the driver side for welcome feature) and also so you can see when parking assist in the dark?

You probably can check with art123 in FL, who already recieved his 450h yesterday. But his isn't the Ultra Premium. I guess Canada and US will recieve the "similar" 450h!?

Maybe I'm wrong here...
2. On art123's pic, with Bi-Xenon headlamps, no washer.
3a. I remembered they can play the separate movies.
5. so far 350 in US doesn't have lines.
6. basically, 450h should do the same as 350 does.
7. When test-driving, the side mirror camera did show ok in the dark, I didn't really pay attention to the courtesy welcome lamp, but I guess it probably has.

1. Yes, fully automatic with a sensitivity adjustment
2. Yes, there is a button for engagement on the left by the hatch button
4. High beams are also fully automatic, detect oncoming cars and ambient lights and go back to lows, then back to highs once they have passed (you have to push the stalk forward though initially)
6. yes
