as the title suggests, perhaps we may be able to persuade or mention a feature we would like to see added to the Infotainment at least, or an accessory you may want to buy,


an absolute necessity i found in the 159 system i had was how much the graphic equaliser settings improved the sound when you were able to toggle them around


dont be afraid to repeat any suggestions as it would then show what is the more popular request


i will kick off with a couple of possibly easy add-ons related to the sound system

1 graphic equaliser
2 loudness switch

+1 for more EQ options
I'd like a way to more easily navigate through the music library. I have lots of tracks and it can take an age to scroll through the various artists/albums etc. I tend to listen to stuff beginning with the letter A through E. Beyond E my fingers get tired.

Also, when you've been previously listening to a music source that isn't immediately available when you start the car like bluetooth on your phone, you hear weird noises, a bit like someone is trying to communicate with you from the other side. Granddad, is that you? I have no idea what the sounds are, but silence would be preferable.

+1 for EQ options. HK needs more than the basic Bass, Treble, Mid.

Also, a source select/toggle button on steering. Most cars have these. Its an inconvenience to push connect knob/wheel up then toggle through sources. On the steering = eyes on road!

When recently used source isn't immediately available, mine defaults to radio most of the time sometimes nothing and is silent (haven't bothered to figure out when). I don't get any strange noises.

EDIT: @146Nick . Forgot to add, it must be from the "other side" ;)

1. Possibility to turn off Start-Stop of engine permantly (memory of last status)
2. Possibility to turn off stability/traction control
3. Possibility to turn off retracting of driver's seat when opening the door with engine off.
4. Possibility to turn off retractable side mirrors
5. Graphics EQ for audio system (all variants)
6. Loudness function for audio system (all variants)
7. Improved utilisation of under floor space (boot) for storage of various stuff you normally keep in the car.

I'd settle for EQ on the HK and a switch to open the valve on the exhaust in any driving mode.

If the driving fairy was prepared to grant 3 more wishes, I'd go for better real time traffic information, self cleaning paint (so my gorgeous car retains peak physical gorgeousness at all times) and self filling fuel tank (because I have a pathological hatred of filling stations).

I like this list - (apart from maybe the Sparco seats which I don't like if you are ever going to have rear passengers. )

Hard to believe all these QF owners wanting a better sound system! The exhaust IS the sound system - enjoy it. I rarely listen to music in the car anyway.

The text message reader was always amusing in my old 159 but I presume they lost it when they binned "Blue and Me" in favour of the Chrysler based U-Connect. I suspect all these systems will disappear when Google, Siri and Amazon Alexa take over the automotive voice-activation systems, Ford apparently have partnered with Alexa already.

I assumed the speed camera warnings were there until I read otherwise. The idea of starting from scratch against established cars when you have a good team of ergonomists and engineers seems a bit of a waste. A friend who worked for Alfa and still had friends working there tells me Marchionnes "do it in a year and a half" is giving real problems. There are many things learned from existing products such as the Giulietta which the core engineers could have helped the skunkworks with!
