It's in the right tube on both the 911 and Panamera (when I had it anyways).
Def in center display/tube for my 4S.
Following up on this question, I assume others have different options for this, as I do not have the option to set a compass setting. I can (1) turn on clock; (2) turn illumination off and off; and (3) adjust brightness. What different options are there for this (e.g., I don't have FOMO but want to be sure I understand how/why others have different choices that I do)?You can change the display on the dash wart?
Just like the 3D parking view - looks flashy, so make for great demos, but completely useless when parking within a foot or less of anything, and/or next to any objects taller than 6 inches (curb height). Even after spending some time learning about the backup lines, still completely useless, for example when I pull into my garage, it always shows the backup lines that I will drive into my wife's car, yet I can see in the mirror I have plenty of room (enough to get out of the car).
Imagine trying it with an Irish accent ?
Same here. I with there was a "enable night vision in the center tube only when object detection is enabled" option. I keep it on 100% of the time because I don't want to have to remember to turn it on each time I think it's dark enough for the object detection to work.
Oh, it is for sure working in the background at night – without needing any activation. I've had it pop up when it detected deer on a dark road for me.
I said "Play Elvis" once and it worked!
Interesting and good to know that at least it will warn me if I'm about to hit something, even if night vision is not on the display. It won't warn ahead of time (one time on a highway at ~3am, there was an unlit, all in black, bicyclist in the middle of my lane, saw him on the night vision highlighted in yellow, but no collision warnings, perhaps because I slowed down to investigate and he rode to the side once I lit him up with the high beams - without the night vision it would have been dicey since at regular highway speeds I would have closed on him much faster).
For sure this stuff cannot be fully relied upon. But the theory is that its constantly calculating predicted paths for the people and animals it's detecting. If it predicts that there isn't a risk of the detection intersecting with your vehicle's path – it won't sound the alarm – and if the night vision screen is on – you'll see a yellow box around the detected object.
Ditto - have had two incidents where deer have popped up and taken measures to avoid in west Texas back roads - tech has been around so long should be std in most lux cars imo
!
Also the system has no clue – and does not see or detect – footpaths (sidewalks). If a pedestrian is walking on one and you happen to meet them on a turn with the right angle – the system will trigger and freak-the-f**k-out. In Europe – using the matrix lights to flash some of its LEDs at them and might even jam on the brakes!
