I love this feature. Honestly my favorite one in the car. Something about using it makes you feel special. Lol maybe it's just me

Sorry Colton, I was just checking to see if you knew about the sunglass holder on your 19'. :crackup: This was a big thing back in 15' as many of us did not know.
Yup I keep a spare pair of sunglasses in there. I've seen the memes/jokes on the Facebook pages about the alternate illegal use for that little cubby lol

FWIW - I need to confess - I didn't know about the sunglass pocket or the trunk latch on the Shelby. I always used the button on the inside dash. My mind has been blown. Now I am looking inside my FiST for a place for my sunglasses.....let me search the manual.. :inspect: and thank you OP for posting this. Helped me out

I honestly didn't know about the sunglasses tray till about 7 months into ownership. I thought it was just a removable fuse panel cover.

For some reason I knew immediately about the rear mounted trunk release - did the 12 GT have one (??) or maybe the salesman showed me or maybe I looked for it in the manual.

But it took me about a month before I discovered the interior mounted trunk release. I knew there had to be one as my GT had one on the console, but I wasn't sure where it was until one day I was kneeling down vacuuming the car and looked up at the steering column and lower dash and there it was. Couldn't see it from the drivers position.

I wish the new s550s kept the trunk release on the inside in the same area as the s197s instead of hiding it behind the steering wheel...
