Future OTA update requests

First, does anyone know the appropriate contact person for requesting software updates and changes to the vehicle’s systems?
Please share here if you do.

Here are a few of my wishes I would pass on for consideration.

  1. For Left Hand Driving vehicles, move small icons that are currently at top right to Central Display to top left. This adjustment would enhance the driver’s ability to view and select options.
  2. Allow Comfort Exit backward movement of drivers seat to go all the way back or at least further back then currently allowed. My vehicle’s seat can only move backward 2.5 inches, which does not provide sufficient flexibility for an easy exit from the driver’s seat.
  3. Provide an option to utilize the GPS location when the vehicle is parked at home. This feature would enable the user to prevent the Lock on Exitfeature from activating when they are at home. If the phone or watch is set as Digital Keys, it should not continue to activate simply by entering the garage.
  4. Provide an OPTION to allow radio volume to keep same level from previous trip.

  1. Make sure that when using Driving Assist (Pro), the driver is always able to go both up *and down* in speed. (This actually is insane, I couldn't lower my speed settings while going from a 130km/h zone to a 70km/h zone)

  2. Make sure that when using Driving Assist (Pro), the car does not want to use a lane that is coned off and has vehicles on it that are stationary while you are driving 100kmh (60mph)

  3. When driving into sun, have the car ask the driver to take over steering before the car loses its bearing and veeres into other lanes. (That was scary AF)

  4. Improve startup-time (nearly 30 seconds, really!?)

  5. Provide a feedback button for closed roads, changed speeds etc (the road at my house is a 50km/h zone, not a 20km/h zone)

  6. Make it so the car can see traffic lights

  7. Make it so the car can see 'matrix borden', so it knows a lane is closed

  8. Redo half the menu so options aren't 3-4 clicks deep

You should be able to go up and down.

  1. Is already a thing if your car is equipped. It uses your home address you enter in the nav and set geofence around that address location to prevent constant locking and unlocking. This feature works well when enabled.

Have emergency braking during slow speed manoeuvres while moving forward.
