I suspect that various folks on the forum have useful tips for the 350. Example: the thread about mirrors tilting when car is in reverse...and that works only when the mirror switch is on for one mirror.
My tip: The overhead switch panel is not illuminated, and the switches are flush. So at night, I would pull into the driveway and by mistake, perhaps open the moonroof instead of the garage door. I found that if I place the tip of my middle finger into the illuminated hole, my index finger is on the garage door button, and my thumb is on the driver's courtesy light button.

I programmed the middle button since that is were the light is. That way you just aim for the light, works out great. Since they are able to put light up there it would have been easy to illuminate the buttons. Maybe next year....

I had the dealer program my FOB so when you hit the unlock button for the second time and hold it, all the windows and the sunroof open. This is a great feature for us who live in AZ. If you don' want the windows down all the way just take your finger off the button and they stop where you want them. Cool feature, I will appreciate this more in July.

Why make 10 trips back to the dealer, right?

1. Garage door opener - Was disappointed by non illuminated buttons. But, I figured, if I put my finger (any) on the little light to completely cover it - this gives out more light that is dispersed to the area from the finger, and it gives me enough vision to see the buttons. Not a fix, but the closest solution. Make sure you have a big fat finger - just kidding.
2. Park Assist - My driveway is perpendicular to the garage. That requires me to make a sharp 90 degree turn to go in. Everytime I make the turn, the PA system beeps, obviously since it gets so close. Now, I have started ignoring the yellow signs. I wont worry until I see striped red, and faster beeping. But, even with that, I have managed to move on and not hit the bumper. What I want to know is, whats next after that - does it really start screaming, and turn completely red, or stripe red the last warning?
