Does that make it Night Vision Gin then?
But everyone knows alcohol is the best ever night vision aid I can guarantee to miss every squeaky step going upstairs when I am drunk but not when I am sober.

Has anyone else noticed that the detachable towbar is a pain in the  to get out of it's stowage? Had to really tug on it - and yes, that was after taking the friction strap off it... when it finally gave iup resisting me and came out, two of the fuses were dislodged  from the aux & rear lighting strip of fuses... getting it back in was aided by a swift kick 
On the plus side, i'm thinking of getting the extra rear divider (with the gate on), we already have the normal dog guard and even having a big dog, he looks lost in the boot, so we would be able to safely carry the dog and luggage at the same time (plus use it for any captured prey - watch out  ) I'm also happy with the AUX input for me iPod.... need to tidy up the cables a bit but it works and sounds well
A curious thing though... both the front sunvisors have illuminated vanity mirrors  No doub't there will be various theories on this one... I think it's so can find where he left his glasses

Yes, now I have the car back I have checked also. I have the little blue LED, I think it is to make the gin look more appealling with a blue tinge. Ice gin?
What on earth is it for?

OK, you got me  it just says it exists... although having fumbled around feeling for me tabs & lighter in the 'retro disco' it's a welcome improvement.... even if Mrs.10 has banned me from sparking up in it (for now )

The BT implementation is great, admittedly i've only tried it with various SE models but it 'just works' bit like Apple products....
Can't fault the voice recognition either - even with my lack of 'queens English' made several calls using voice recognition to dial the number and only once did it misinterpret the number - and then only one digit
Yep, there's a trend here... the vehicle is everything I wanted, thought it would be, hoped it would be.... and more
