What cool feature from a former car do you wish your Stinger had?

One thing I miss from a previous car (a 2019 GT2), is a sunglasses holder-- it's GONE on my 2022.

An old white panel van of mine had shackles and stirrups in the back…………

Clearly this was to ensure your weekly grocery shopping was properly secured in the trunk.

Auto up/down (two-stage) window switches for the rear windows. A 60k€ car with this kind of cost-cutting is baffling.

Also +1 to opening windows via remote.

Let's see......a sunroof would be nice. Shouldn't have had to spend an extra 5 grand at the time to get into a gt1 to be able to get a sunroof when the base 4 cylinder cars get a sun/sound package option. My old car had a sunroof and even if I didn't have it open I liked having the additional brightness in an interior that was pretty dark, just like the Stingers.

Being able to lock/unlock/remote start the car without the entire neighborhood knowing that I'm leaving. My old 2007 Grand Prix, you could disable the horn beep, lights flash, so it could be unlocked or locked in stealth. At least give the option to be able to change it. I'd probably just keep the lights flashing if it didn't make a loud ass beeping sound.

Also, how bout a little more customization options for the touch screen? There ain't much you can change in the display.

One more thing, fog lights! This car desperately needs fog lights on the front end. Dynamic light bending or not, include fog lights. I don't care what anybody says, if you drive at night (which i do a lot) then more lighting is your friend. Something akin to this would be nice!

Our 2005 E320 has em, our 2016 Grand Cherokee has em (full led fogs) the 01 Lightning has em and of course my old 2007 Grand Prix had em too.

I have a 2020 not sure if any of this has been changed for 2022.

Basically, I'd love to be able to cherry pick options like back in the day!

Yeah no, the system being developed is specifically for people who want to change their tunes, and allow the tuners to make adjustments without sending the ECU back out. you will also be able to flash maps to the JB4, but you will still need an initial tune from whatever tuner you choose, as long as they decide to play nice with the company developing it. If you wanna really go fast, its pay to play.

Who is developing it? Anywhere I can read more about it?

I miss the auto lock/unlock feature from my GLI but I got the "my key premium" thing and it solved that for me on top of adding remote start. I second the windows being able to be controlled from the FOB though, that would be nice especially here in FL.

same here, mykeypremium is a great addition.. though my tuner says it has locked him out with the fob inside. Luckily he had one of the windows open. I really need to check that one, don't want this happening when I'm miles from home ..

Looking at the Stinger's competition, which vehicles offer fog lights?

S5? No.
C43? No.
Arteon? No.
Gran Coupe? No.

What about more expensive cars?

S6, S7, or S8? No, no, and no.
S-Class? No.
7 series? No.

Now let's go wild.

Continental GT? No.
Bentayga? No.
Phantom? No.
Cullinan? No.

Eff it, let's get downright stupid.

Chiron? No.
Veyron? No.

I get a new car every 1-1.5 years and the last vehicle I've had with fog lights was a 2014 Nissan Altima. Lighting technology has come a long way since those vehicles listed in your post. If a new car is being sold with fog lights nowadays it's because their headlights are subpar. Cars with superior lighting tech don't bother with them.

EK1Pro Tune - Sixth Element

I've been using the JB4 for more than 2 years and all is fine. After reading several reviews and seeing the 1/4 numbers etc, I am convinced it is worthwhile to upgrade to a ECU/TCU combo. I know Lozic & Lap3 are the standard options at the moment, but during my search I saw the EK1Pro option...

This was a bizarre omission on the 22s. I get the UVO stuff is up there, but there wasn’t ANYWHERE else they could put it?

Cars I was cross shopping when I bought my Stinger. All of them have fog lights. Since when do cars only come with stuff they need? I don't need lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring or most of the extra crap they put on cars nowadays. In fact, I'd rather the car have fog lights so I can see even better than to have that stuff. Plus, the car just looks better when it doesn't have massive unused areas with nothing going on, plenty of blank space for fogs.

I didn't think people actually use the sunglasses holder. Mine got hot enough to warp a Dragy and a debit card so I'm sure there have been other damaged items left in there on a hot day.

I use mine all the time.

I use something like this to hold my sunglasses. Didn't have sunglasses holders in any of my cars and any time I had access to them (rental, etc), my sunglasses never fit.

Isn't it there just above the rear view mirror?

Draggy and a credit card are both plastic, most sunglasses have a metal frame on the inside, even if the exterior is plastic, so they wouldn't melt. Also, I use mine all the time.

Nope, I think they removed it on the 2022.
