I also have a darkside metallic mkz, the color is hard to explain, as well as show in photos, but as stated, depending on lighting it will appear as different colors. Under floresent street lights it appears like a bass boat green/blue, at night or on cloudy days it appears black or purple (or when dirty), in very sunny days it will appear as green/blue again

Alot of my customers do this.. even though that it is not advised.. many do it.

There was a setting for the Cruze that I had... I was able to make the horn chirp and headlights flash to confirm the lock.. or you could have it lock with no horn, or no indicator at all.

You could unlock it with the keypad code, then just press the release button on the dash next to the headlight controls...

When you exit the vehicle, look at the driver front door handle (near rear of handle, on the top side) you will see 3 litle ribs. If you have the fob outside of the car, simply hold your finger over those ribs for a few moments and the doors will lock, turn signal indicators will flash to confirm the lock and the indicator will turn red for the locks. Hope this helps. This was one thing I was rather disappointed with coming to an MKZ from a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze that had an auto lock feature when exiting.. it spoiled me apparently, used to be able to just walk away and know that it would lock.

Factory wheels are outrageous... but the quality is truly higher than any aftermarket wheel..

I have never seen a seat filter that NEEDED to be changed... that is why the new ones are listed as lifetime... because the prior ones never even needed changed.. and im talking navigators with 200k+ and still looked new... we have changed them but they didnt need it but customer requested to, even after we advised them they didnt need to..

It doesnt make alot of sense, there are powered trunks on Towncars back to 04~05ish that are capable of being opened with the key pad

And that seems to be what I am running into.. but I have not found who to contact to be able to do this... One of the techs was talking about a time that a vehicle delivered without Navigation but was requested to be built with it, (this was 08-09 I believe) and he said they had to jump through alot of hoops and they were able to get it corrected but he doesnt recall who they even began to call with the issue... I'll keep trying...

That is not normal!!! Take that in, so that you can enjoy your very expensive pano roof and car again.

It automatically opens to the comfort position.. but can then be opened fully. Comfort position is for less wind noise and pressure, as stated below by others. Be best to not think about that and have good insurance. The retract to my understanding is done by the same motor on both left and right side... but one thing to realize is that the pano is a VERY heavy piece of glass.

I came from a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze to a 2014 MKZ... and I was not impressed with the lighting in the trunk.. my cruze was phenomenal and this lighting setup just flat out sucks... also sucks to think a 2 year older, lesser product has any feature over this vehicle...

Parts for this recall will not be available until the THIRD quarter of 2015, those effected will be waiting for a while, unless your airbag light comes on sooner.... if it does, take it to the servicing dealer and repairs can be expedited, the only available modules to correct this are being used in the vehicles currently affected. Just sharing.

I am currently working to see what all needs to be performed to make this a possibility, inserting the A5 card simply is not enough. I do believe the cars without Nav, did ship with all essential hardware (global positioning module) due to observation, if you click on the INFORMATION quadrant on the MLT, then select the button that says WHERE AM I? There is no map, obviously, but it does give you your exact longitude and latitude, and also changes as you drive. Give me a week or so to play with this and see what I can come up with (which modules need reprogrammed, flashed, etc....) I will report back with news either way. I know many that have a vehicle that was purchased without it would like to be able to add it later, or at least know that it could be if desired.
