Default Missing features

Nissan 370z is great when it comes to features pack, but there I miss some things:

1. Poor visibility -> no parking sensors or reverse camera
2. Poor visibility; when I put the car on reverse, the right mirror doesn't tilt.
3. No mirror folding from remote key.
4. No continuous scan for FM frequencies; I need to update the list manually from time to time, when I travel.
5. The navi has settings for Safety Cameras warning, but I cannot update them...

What problems do you have?

I got this weird bug bite on my leg the other day. It's still a little red but the swelling has gone down. Any suggestions?

sounds a little high maintenance to me. sounds like you should have bought a bmw 335 instead. you get that stuff but will have to replace your fuel pump 3 or 4 times and fuel injectors for it....

Are we talking spider bite? I would suggest hot compress that should clear it up. A little cortisone should help aleviate the redness. I would also suggest u to try to suck the venom out of your leg.

I have one small issue, which is that there is only one button on the entire car to open the rear hatch. I can't pop the trunk from inside the vehicle, and there's no easy way to close the hatch without getting greasy handprints all over it.

However, I plan on improving those issues with mods. I want to do some custom stuff. Until then, I can live with it. And I forget all about any issues with the car when I downshift and slam the gas, or when I pour into the apex of a tight corner. It is at that time when creature comforts matter very little.

NO car is perfect and the Z is the best car for the money!

Poor visibility is resolved by buying a set of blind mirrors about $3.99 in Auto Zone and can tilt my passenger side mirror.

No mirros folding that is mostly JDM.

I used to be really annoyed by this, but then i realized you don't need the fob with you to open the trunk if the car is unlocked. so you can still pull over, drop someone off and they can open the trunk without you having to either get out and do it for them or give them the key

agreed, but my hands actually secrete detail spray, so it actually just leaves my car looking nice and shiny

If you buy a 370 better get use to the blind spots. But mirrors can be adjusted.

Yeah, but I want to just be able to pop it from the inside. I'm considering a custom switch and wire job. I think it'd be pretty pimp.

THIS. I've wanted this feature in every car I've owned since the late 80's (don't laugh) when I was in my then-girlfriend's Buick Skylark (don't laugh again). Aftermarkets also hard to find this feature in. They'll scan presets, but not seek frequencies.

Did you test drive a BMW as well? Looks like a feature brochure from a 335i.
