Tech Package... experiences?

For those guys with the tech packages. You think the features are a vast difference from the norm? I previously excluded this becuase it wasn't necessary, but on those mountain roads late at night... I dunno adaptive lighting to go into the turn might be cool :P

The adaptive lighting is very cool and works very well. Sometimes I get the eerie feeling that my car is reading my mind and showing me what I want to see. One of the best features of the car in my opinion.

It is a great feature. Most customers pass on the option but I feel its well worth the extra cash.

The adaptive lighting is cool, but I love the adaptive cruise. I use that feature all the time.

It wasn't on my list of packages I would have ordered, but it came with the car. Having lived with it for two weeks now, I have to say that the adaptive cruise control is pretty amazing.

I was thinking about the headlights this morning though. I don't do any mountain driving. Most of my turns at night are either so broad (interstate or other roads) or so slow (intersections) that I really can't appreciate it.

Overall, I say it's worth it.

I fooled around with how responsive the AFS was and did a few quick swerves with the wheel and I must say that was pretty fast response on those lights. Have already used the ICC many times and would rather not pass that up in futures cars since it is one of the best options on cruising I have seen. It just makes like easier and more fun on the long trips.

The adaptive lighting would be cool for me. But that is the only feature fro th etech package that I personally would be excited about. So I passed on it as well.

I personally don't think its worth it. everything is cool and it sounds great when you tells friends what it is. But After driving around with it for two weeks I could have done without it.

The adaptive cruise control is awesome. It works really well, and when you see someone fly past you with a radar detector on there windshield its fun to turn on and watch all the pretty lights flash in there car. Ha Ha

It keeps you at a preset distance from vehicles in front of you. Say if you set your car at 75 MPH and the car in front is going slower, it slows down automatically until you pass it, than it speeds back up to 75.

I had a Calibre (K40) radar/laser detector/diffuser dealer installed. They seemed pretty confident that the ICC would not interfere with the laser detector diffuser system. The front detector is mounted in the grill Did you hear otherwise?

I believe it sets it off when the beam hits a chrome bumper and bounces back to you.
