What features am I missing so far?
 
Honestly, I am trying to find the time to read through the manuals, but I found a few things so far that the dealer did not mention: (this is SV with Premim and tech options)

1) The auto headlight switch - the lights go on or off depending on the level of sunlight - really nice. (an obvious feature on the stalk, but it was dark when I bought the car)

2) Each key fob can be synched up differently with the seat adjustment just by getting in the car. I dug that nugget from deep in the manual.

Are there other neat features to be found that are not obvious?

Didn't know you could sync each key fob to certain seat adjustment. That would be nice for those times my fiance forgets to push the "1" for my seat setting, haha

Good thread because I've only had my Max for a week & havent had a chance to read the manual or really mess with features other than basic stuff.

When the engine is running, double tap start button to go straight to acc mode.

Hold down unlock button on key to roll down windows from outside the car.

While opening or closing roof, push the button again and it will stop in any position.

I don't get this. Why would I want to go to acc mode with the engine running?

Use key in drivers keyhole the raise and lower widows

Set the unlock but on door to either unlock all doors or only THAT Door (manual)

Illumitation of screen and gauges set based on daylight sensor, and adjust each brightness independantley (auto day might mode under screen and brightest control when in each setting on gauges)

put the mirror selector, on the position switch, to the middle to stop the mirrors from automatically going down when you put the car in reverse. I find, maybe just me, that they aren't completely necessary with the backup camera.

If you want to control the audio from 3rd party apps on your iphone, IE pandora or slacker internet radio, start playing a song from your iphones playlist via your car. Then on the phone switch to app and hit play. Now you can use the steering wheel radio and dash controls to control the app. I can't get mine to automatically start playing the audio in those apps. I need to initiate the playback through a playlist or song selection first. Words of caution: it won't show the artwork, the song timer, or the artist information on the screen but it still streams the music, which to me is the end goal. The counter will keep moving though, the car doesn't' know when it switched songs, so it just keeps going up and up and up.

On the key fob, if you hold down the "lock" and "unlock" button at the sametime for about 3 seconds, you can change the key fob response of the vehicle.

There is an on/off switch in the glove box. Turn it off and it disables both push buttons and the remote push button to open the trunk.

The lever/button on the left side of the steering used to scroll through cd tracks can also be used to scroll through your cds if you have to six disc player. You have to hold the lever up or down until you hear the beep.

Also holding down the Source button can turn the radio either on or off
