The "Random Things You May Not Know About Your Car" Thread

Opening the sunroof will create a draft in the drivers door map pocket.... perfect for allowing the leather scented scentsy stored there to do its thing.

The thing in your trunk for people to escape when you are kidnapping them glows in the dark lol. My plans are ruined...

OK I only read up to page 25 before skipping ahead so hopefully none of this is a re-post:

The powered USB port in your center arm rest provides enough juice that if you buy a powered USB port replicator you can simultaneously power/charge numerous devices (at least 4 per my own testing). With respect to "input" to your stereo head unit - the last/latest device plugged in or enabled on that USB daisy chain will be what your head unit will switch to without conflict. You can mix USB memory sticks, smart phones, it doesn't care. Last device enabled is what it selects. Thus, if you buy a USB port replicator that allows you to toggle each port separately, you can directly control input without fiddling with plugging and unplugging a device.

A bone stock SS 1LE is capable of at least 25 MPG at 75 MPH, even in freezing temperatures, with a passenger and luggage in the trunk. This gives you comfortably over 400 miles per tank for road trips.

If you go WOT the AC compressor halts so you benefit from maximum HP.

Well in all fairness, the trunk release glows as that other post shows. It's their fault if they fail to exit.

Commas save lives, right? lol

Love the leather scentsy! I want to put one in my car so badly, but i don't want the new car smell to go away. It's still there after 4700 miles...

I found out today that when you have the delayed lock set on your car that you cannot lock the car with the door button on the passengers door when it is open.
I noticed this morning that my car was unlocked, I opened the passengers door and pushed the lock button but nothing happened, no chime, I closed the door and waited and it never locked. I went to the drivers side and opened the door and pressed the lock button, it chimed, I closed the door and a few seconds later it locked and the horn beeped.
I don't know if this happens on any setting other than the delayed lock setting.

Sadly, many of them are repeated several times throughout the long thread.

But this thread is about not having to read the manual

Does the 2013 have the capability to auto lock the doors once the key is out of range?
