| If you don't like auto settings, buy a Volvo. Their auto wiper settings cancel every time you switch off the engine.... |

| Downshift clunk has definitely receded, although in its place ICTP has decided that it can't be bothered with night mode in the Nav function. Makes for a glaringly bright dash at night. I sense a deal ... |

When we pair a phone to ICTP, it only shows up as what I presume is t ... |

| Hmmmm.... not quite what we ordered, turns out the wrong trim was put on the factory order. Time to ponder rejecting vs accepting. Replacement would arrive May so fall inside new VED regime. Damn. |
