I love this post. I smile to myself reading likes and dislikes. My 2014 ES300h gives me moments of peace. I now find myself turning off the radio and just enjoy the silence that is being provided when I drive.

I guess this is a matter of time. Probably soon we will have (almost) full function tablets in our cars.
That would allow using the best of everything.
I see the pros in GPS moving to android/ios.
In the end we will have Waze and state of the art GPS dedicated devices.

You had reminiscing on the Simon and Garfunkle song 'The Sound of Silence' .

I love Waze! Maybe towards the Tesla Tablet?

Just to be clear, these are Enform updates only. The last updated added Slacker radio to the assortment of apps.

I particularly appreciate my rear power sunshade when there is someone behind me with his bright lights on.

If the auto-dimming rear-view mirror worked properly, it would detect the bright lights from the following car and dim them down to a tolerable level.

I like the rear power shade too, and use an accordion shade for the front windshield to keep the car cooler and save it from some fading.
