    The idrive is a pad you can write on for destinations, routes, etc, the kick module is always located on the left which gives it a more successful rate. You can add shortcuts to the 12345678 preset button mapping near vents. You can use sport mode with comfort/ air suspension support dampening on the 7 series. Make sure you turn off auto hold while going into car wash on rails. You can manually adjust the headrest and mold it in the shape of your head in the 7 series 2016-. Auto start and auto off could potentially shorten your battery or even cut off the car.

      This isn't a hybrid car, but to increase efficiency, the car only engages the alternator when you are slowing down to charge the battery. This way you are not taking any of the energy from the engine when it can be driving the wheels etc.

    I got one for you guys, is there a way to put the car from nuetral to drive without pressing the brake to enter drive mode? I know the car can do this if it rolling at about 5mph or over, but anything less and you have to press the brake to shift from N to D.
    The reason I ask this is because of those automated car washes, where the machine moves your car through the car wash in neutral.

    • @SimpleCarGuy
      @SimpleCarGuy  4 года назад +1

      It's a safety feature so I highly doubt there would be something to override it, unless you actually disable the switch that triggers this.
      I just tap the brake as I shift into drive, never had issues with this.
      Thanks for watching!

    Actually, the tilting mirror is on my list of things I don't like. Most cars that have that feature, including my old 2007 Acura, have a three position switch, with center being off. Left tilts the driver (in the US) mirror and the right tilts the passenger. I find them particularly good at helping me part close to a curb without curbing an expensive wheel. I really miss it on the driver side.
