Funny, I have them, but never used them. In fact, I'd forgotten I have these until you just said.

Do you have the nav option?

I use the dipping mirrors alot, very useful when parking upto a kerb.

It's interesting that heated seats and the first level of audio upgrade cost about the same.

People "will never buy a car without heated seats" but they are happy listening all year to the crap basic stereo which belongs in a 1995 Ford.

Precisely why they make these things options so you can pick what's important to you

The stereo may be shit but for me there's little point in a "good" sound system in an environment which is so compromised anyway. If you want good sound get a Linn and listen at home.

Not got Nav option, never had one so I don't know what I'm missing.

got a Tom Tom but only really use it for the speed cameras, would have probably lost my licence by now if it wasn't for that.

HAHA

I noticed that the other day... I would select reverse and the passenger side mirror would drop slightly... But when i decided to dip it further manually, it no longer does it...

Is there a button or something??? Cant you set it how low you want it to dip when in reverse?

Best,

Josh

edit
BTW

I would take the heated seats over the factory upgrade speakers... I prefer to pick my own speakers rather than use the overpriced alpines etc... from factory... Just my 2 cents...

Live in California, and I still say it's a must.

Heated seats are a must!

With you there, except that I think 'shit' is a tad harsh. I have the standard system in my F10 and I consider it perfectly adequate for a car. As luxurious and refined as the interior is, it's still a car and, therefore, subject to the aural intrusion of road, engine, running gear and wind noise. Bearing that in mind, it never ceases to amaze me that some folk are prepared to spend a heap of money for audiophile quality hi-fi in such an environment.
However, as you rightly say, it's an option and, by definition, a matter of personal choice.

To clear some confusion about the dipping mirror, the passenger mirror dips a specified amount when you select reverse to show more clearly, how close to the kerb you are. This auto dip facility comes as standard if you have either all electric seats or powerfold mirrors.

If you don't want it to dip, move the mirror selector button to the passenger mirror position and it won't do it.

simples.
