Yes, that would be one of the gears that is not "park".

So by my calculations, 10,000 songs would take..... um..... 12 days?

It seems as though the annoying chime for keys in ignition, seatbelt, etc. plays through the driver door speaker and not the passengers

Probably because this saves GM from stocking another cluster. Just how many Canadian Camaros are sold with the inferno orange interior anyways?

I was under the impression that the orange halo trim was on the SS model and the blue halo trim was on the other models.

Been able to successfully stream iPod functions from the phone via BluTooth (No menu control through the radio) but when connected via BluTooth (Get the menu functions) I get white noise for a majority of the tracks.

When on a call through the radio, you can shut the car off and the radio will continue with the call. But if you don't want to sit in the car until you are done with your call, you can transfer the call to your phone. Other way works to, if you're on your phone and get in and start up your call, you can transfer the call to your car.

It's called INDEXING. Corvettes/XLR have it as well because they have frame-less windows. It helps seal the windows once U close your door.

I think the corvettes indexing is much better then ours. its faster, keeps a tighter seal.

Certain yellow ones with stripes, can walk, talk and play music that exactly suits you and your intentions with your passenger..

I like the one about cranking the engine and not having to hold the key the whole time. That's pretty neat even though it doesnt really take long for the engine to start. BUT in the rare time that it does take long to crank that's a nifty feature.
