That's cool you can set the Shift Up signal for anything from 2000-7400RPM :-)

I love that in my STI and I'm very happy it's in the BRZ also.

More neat stuff:

There's a shift position indicator for the MT as well as the AT! That's just boss.

There is an up-shift indicator for economy. It comes from the factory turned off apparently. I'll leave it off. :P

Things of note so far (I'm not skipping around much)

The manual says the rear seats are folded by pulling straps in the trunk. But then states that you can tell if the seatbacks are not in the locked upright position by the state of the release buttons. Not sure if the seatbacks can be released from inside. Odd omission.

BOTH windows are auto down AND up! And they will still work 45 seconds after turning the car off. Sweet.

There's a way to hang the filler cap on the fuel door. Finally!

still reading.....

There's always been a hanger on Hondas n Toyotas, as far as I remember. Is this new for Subarus?

Kelvin refers to color. Both are 4100k. D4s are Eco xenon and run on 42v vs the 85v for d2s. Also d4s are slightly less bright (about 100 lumens less output for a Phillips bulb) which probably won't be very noticeable.

Damn, airbags are in the seats!!!

It's not the color, it's the specific type of HID bulb to be used. D4S bulbs are used in projector housings while D4R bulbs are used in reflector housings. Using a D4S in a reflector housing is how you blind oncoming traffic.

Dave-ROR and Longhorn, thanks for the clarification (tis why I put "or something")

Bingo, the D4S are the tree hugger version of the D2S and will have less "brightness". Also for anyone that is thinking of switching to a different color temperature bulb (ex 6000k) the higher the kelvin rating the less light you're going to be putting out.

Lots of answers to questions we've had for a while in this thing. I'll do a more thorough read through tomorrow to see if anything stands out. Overall, pretty excited though!

In case your remote key's battery is dead - in which case, it doesn't put out a signal and the car can't detect it...therefore, manual key as a backup. It should store inside of the keyless remote.

That's pretty cool. So how do you start the car if your car is push button only?
