Functionality/Tech in your car you NEVER use?
Discussion
I sometimes marvel at all the magicky science in cars these days.
I suspect there's loads of magik little techo pixies monitoring our every move to keep us safe - features that we don't exist but are using every day just by driving. But what about the features in your car (past or present) you've NEVER used?
I'll start
1) Voice control
2) Bluetooth for phone

I drive a Mondeo LX. It doesn't have any technology.
The OH had her Almera for 9 years and didn't know it had a rear window washer. She was surprised when I turned it on, and after 30 seconds of buzzing and huffing some green gloop came out followed by a load of bubbles and finally washer fluid.

Voice control, Bluetooth for the phone*, radio. CD player, yes. But not the radio. Or the traffic alerts either. Only tried that once. Spent half an hour moving at snails pace on the M25 due to an accident, and a mere 70 miles BEYOND the traffic jam, the traffic alert kindly told me that there was an accident on the M25. Impressed I was not.

kERRRRRRR" as loud as he can.
A/C is also a dehumidifier.
I find it more useful in the winter than summer.
As for the A/C in convertibles "argument", the same can be said for cars that have windows that open. Besides, sometimes when it's V hot, you want cooling top with the top up (don't want sunburn
) or in wet but humid weather and so on.

Sat Nav, dates badly and my iPhone is better
Trip computers with the ability the reset the average speed/consumption, why?
Radio with TP, TA and various other pointless acronyms
USB ports, why when you have an iPod thingy
Traction control buttons, now why would you switch that off?
Front fog lights, another pointless item to break, blind and annoy other drivers
