Don't know why you would delete it, it's a great bit of kit I didn't think I'd buy into it but certainly did.
Even after 4 weeks ownership - I would have quite happily have deleted it if I was getting the money back.

I still prefer the look of real dials. Though I have been driving with real dials for well over 3 decades. :embarrassed:

The thing I am struggling most with on my new car is keyless. I still keep reaching up beside the steering wheel to switch the car off. I even forgot to lock the car once. :angry: Now I always look at it to see if the mirrors are in!

I had to look that up :embarrassed:

Luddite - no, I normally love new tech.

Retrosexual - I'll have to ask my wife :lipsrsealed: :wink:

You will soon get used to the keyless when your muscle memory kicks in.

I forgot to lock the car the other day and walked back to touch the door to lock it, my wife was laughing and asked why I walked back to the car instead of just using the key fob :embarrassed:
