Thx! Didn't catch your meaing about the curb until I reviewed the pictures! Guess I was leaving a little room for error...

I actually thought you were quite close to the curb. Can't be more than 2 inches away. unless you are supposed to ride up on that curb.

Great looking Car...congrats.

Thanks Veight! Yes, streets are kind of narrow here in New Orleans, designed before there were cars. I usually get up on the curb bit just to get out of the street some. Have had several neighbors get side-swipped by passing idiots. For me, that is pretty far from the curb...

It did and needless to say we did not have my key in the ignition for the set up, but will try that to make sure everything is saved correctly. But I still don't get how the car know I'm the one unlocking the car. Now if I actually pull the key fob out and use it to unlock the car, then yes I can see it. But if we both walk up the the car with key fobs and I use my finger to press the CA spot on the door handle to unlock, the car really has no way of knowing if it was me or my wife unlocking, if that makes sense. Maybe it can tell directionally which key is by the drivers door when unlocking...

It seems to be able to sense which key is closest to the driver's door when that door handle is pulled, often my wife & I are on the same side of the car (drivers) and she unlocked to car with her key then proceeds to strap in our son in the back seat then I pull on the driver's door & I see the car re-adjusting to my settings.
