Funny. I do use the voice command to make telephone calls or play music on my phone. It works about 80 or 90% of the time. I've never used it for anything else.
The thing I thought I would use daily, HUD, I rarely use because I cannot see it through polarized sunglasses, and I don't drive at night that much. I think it is very cool, but I can't stand being blinded by the sun.

This thread made me think about all the features of the car, and sure enough, just used something I haven't used in a long time. Passenger side mirror down in reverse. I usually keep the switch in "off" position, as I don't like how low it goes (for my normal setting) when I'm reversing and not parking close to the curbs, but tight space and proximity to the curb this time called for it.

HUD is something if it broke Im not sure I'd pay out of pocket to fix unless it was just a few hundred dollars.
Its a cool feature, but I would order it if I had a choice.

I prefer to look over my shoulder than use side mirrors or reverse cameras when backing up. I love my top view cameras to easily see curbs or white lines for parking; I just started using the side view cameras to highlight front objects like walls, curbs, and parking blocks. People have no excuse for curbing tires if they have 5DL.

Initially, I was worried about that too, but now I use it much more often. My local SA said that it is designed to be on all the time.

least used, most forgotten would be the massage seats. I think I used them for a few hours on my first drive home with the car and haven't used them since. I actually forgot they were even there until I saw this thread and had to think hard. Second would be voice commands.

I just found out my car has the motivation activated trunk opener. I was chilling by the back of my car and swong my foot underneath the rear bumper, and pop! the trunk started opening,

OK.... Did some experimenting this morning... The "Activate.." is greyed out until the engine is shut-down. Once the engine is off the "Activate.." becomes available. IIRC, that is to vent the cabin immediately after shut-down.
