Things you never knew your car did!

That would be awesome.

CarPlay in iOS13 will allow that, but Ford would need to update their software. I.e. don’t hold your breath...

Do you know if something like would/could be supported by Android Auto?

Y'all must have tiny heads. My sunglasses don't come close to fitting in the "sunglasses holder".

I put mine lenses down (or up), it's got felt down there.

I tried that - lenses down, the temples catch when opening or closing the drawer. Lenses up, they scrape across the top of the opening. My sunglasses are kind of big and wrap-around, so they must not have been their design point.

I've put aviators in there...

When I went to buy my Mustang my CarPlay wouldn’t work. The dealership rightly identified some 3rd party lightning cables cause this issue. I then connected to a ($24) Apple OEM cable and all worked fine.

same thing with my Android, you need a quality cable.

Ankr cables work with CarPlay as well.

Yes, my son’s 2009 Honda Accord will do this with his Android phone.

Discovered recently on my 2019 that you can turn on the radio without your key fob, or turning on the ignition.

How?

The inside trunk lining around the back of the tail lights has magnetic fasteners that hold it in place.

Aside from doubletap hold on unlock for auto windows down, and turn directions on trip blank screen this helped kill an hour of an otherwise boring day. BTW- you can use the pinch and spread hand movements to expand and reduce the navigation screen like on your smart phone. Or you can simply use the enlarge or reduce buttons like I prefer.

How?

I just press the power button centered below the nav screen.

Also like to set the cruise control and once disengaged the mark stays on the speedometer, much like a heading or airspeed bug in an aircraft. Good reference mark when accelerating.

I just press the power button centered below the nav screen.

Open NAV screen to full display by pressing NAV softkey on screen:

Place commonly used thumb and forefinger spread apart on screen simultaneously.

With digits touching screen drag together. Screen zooms in closer. Do the opposite move to zoom out. It's a common hand movement used on 99.9% of smartphones when looking at photos or videos as I understand it...I don't own a smart phone.

I don't use this feature either but it was shown to me by the sale rep during the demo of my used 17 when I purchased it. I don't find it that useful....BUT this thread about features people were not aware of on their S550...regardless of how trivial many of them are.
