love the creature comforts of the “Elite”.?

Elite is the way to go!

Can this software update be done by us? Or does it have to be done by a dealer?

 

[josechaney]

Brand new owner here, less than 24 hours. So far I love the car. Period.

 

[josechaney]

Okay, I've got a "hate." I hate that I can't permanently disable the Auto-off thing. We shouldn't have to remember to push the button EVERY SINGLE TIME we start the car.

 

[josechaney]

Oh... and if I can't figure out how to do the first item in this thread I'm gonna have another "hate" real soon!

2) Should have a 360 degree Bird's Eye View option
3) Should have an option where you can switch the Rear-view Mirror to a outside rear Camera, so if your cargo area is full and blocking your view - you can still see behind you (like the RAV4 has).

I agree with these. I'd also like the ability to turn on the backup camera if I want to (at least at low speed) to help with parking. The "straight down" view comes in handy but is only activated if in Reverse. I'd like to see it when pulling in too, not just pulling out.

 

[josechaney]

I find myself putting the car in reverse just to see if I’m between the lines!

Bingo. Me too. But it's a pain in the butt to switch back and forth. We should be able to push a button to turn on the camera. Heck, it works that way on the Acura RDX so it can work that way on the Passport.

 

[josechaney]

But is putting it in reverse so much different than pushing a button?

No, no.... that's not what I mean. I want to be able to turn the camera on and LEAVE IT ON while I'm parking, regardless of whether I'm in Drive or in Reverse. Currently I pull into a spot (for example), then I have to flip the R button JUST TO SEE THE CAMERA, then go into Drive to pull up a bit, then flip the R button to see again, then go into Drive, etc. Does that make sense?

 

[josechaney]

I miss the brake hold that I had on my CRV

That was one thing I really liked on the RDX I was considering. I wish we had that.

 

[josechaney]

Is “brake hold” when you press the brake to the floor while at a standstill (like a stoplight), and then let your foot off and the car remains brakes until you press the accelerator?

Yes.

 

[josechaney]

Should have an electonic Parking Brake (like RAV4) it would make sense with the push button tranny...!

I agree, good feature. The RDX has this. (not to mention the Passport's parking brake is just plain "in the way")

There should be a setting to turn off the beep if in manual mode. When I am car camping and need to access the cargo area while others are sleeping (most mornings I am going somewhere before sunrise) I want to be able to leave in a stealthy manner without disturbing any other campers.

Also a good idea. It is rather loud.

 

[josechaney]

Is there an echo?

Say again?

 

[josechaney]

The Passport does not offer a Surround View Camera

I do wish it had this.

 

[josechaney]

Mine works fine after I got the technique down.

Same here. Took a while for me to get it to work correctly every time. Although it never works for my son (like, never).

 

[josechaney]

I’m not sure if I’m supposed to do this, but I love that I don’t have to put it in park before I turn the car off.

I keep wondering about that every time I put the car into Park.

 

[josechaney]

I'm very happy with the sound. No complaints. In fact, it "SoundsGood" to me.

 

[josechaney]

Turn on the enhanced sound. Sounds much better imo. Once I turned that on, I was pleased with the sound.

Hmmm... I think I'll try that.

 

[josechaney]

Enhanced sound?

In the "Sound" settings. All the way on the bottom. (can't remember what it's called)

 

[josechaney]

DTS Neural Surround?

Yep. At least I THINK that's what he meant.

 

[josechaney]

How many posts did it take you before you could finally work that in? (LOL)
