Is there one option that you think is a useless one?

Mine would be the bottle opener in the back hatch; a novelty perhaps, but how many folks these days buy a beverage that requires a bottle opener?

I see using the bottle opener when camping or after a ride on the ole mountain bike. For me its the phone pouch on the passenger seat, my phone has been in a silicone style case for years and it is a pain to get in and out.

Are we allowed to use it for something other than a phone?

I use the pouch for my gate / garage opener as I don't like clutter on my windshield visor.

Personally I don't care for the auto stop/start feature.

And I refuse to buy the 90 dollar memory gadget that remembers your last setting for it. I just start the car and push the button to disable it, then think how savvy I am to save money.

Uh, what were we talking about?

Differing opinions, but the $90 I spent on the Auto Start/Stop Eliminator is the best money I've spent on the BS so far. It's very nice not having to remember to turn it to OFF every start. My 2023 Highlander doesn't have a plug-n-play version for it, so I still have to manually turn it OFF every start. Nothing irritates me more when I forget to turn it OFF and it shuts down. Cheers!

Start/Stop for sure, the worst.
Does anyone have a link to what the "$90 eliminator" is I NEED to get one. I hate the start stop. I'm not sure who came up with that as an idea and it may save gas but I'm sure it wears out your starter faster and is ridiculous when you are I traffic.

Not sure with your Highlander, but with the BS, if you forgot to disable after start, and it shuts off on the first stop you make, push the disable once you are rolling; all remaining stops will work as you wanted.

Autostop Eliminator for the 2021-2023 Ford Bronco Sport
This is the one I purchased. Plug -n-Play, no splicing or fuse taps. Cheers!

Does not wear out starter. In another thread on the stop/start feature, I placed a link to a Ford site that states a very robust starter is used for this feature.

I probably could have been clearer on my wording. On both vehicles you have to turn it OFF on every re-start of the vehicle (after turning off the vehicle) by the driver, not by the Auto Start/Stop feature. Cheers!

Thanks so much I will get one

Agreed. I still however cannot push myself into buying one because I have a poor memory each time I start the BS for a drive.

I'm a cheap #$@%&

The little cubby in the middle of the dash. Nothing stays in it. Would rather have some sort of phone storage besides where the wireless charger is. There are normally two people in the front and both have phones. Unless you just hold it, no place to put it.
