It sure does. I could use folding mirrors. Its probably another DOT thing that makes no sense like the rear reflector.

I hate to start the rumor mill, but I heard that v14 will be coming to the US within the next two weeks.

Dept. of Transportation. It is a mainland thing
I doubt they have heard of Hawaii other than for vacations and certainly now that the islands voted Democratic for the National Elections :'(

My dealer told me that in december the false warning (too sensitive) tire monitor will be (software)fixed. If that is v.15 it seems like v.14 has a short timespan to live.

I've got v12 and had been thinking about upgrading to v13 because of the firming of active steering at slower speeds.? Have you noticed the same firming in v14?

Yeah... I was reading the posts and couldn't wait to find out if there is a difference on mine...
But... I've been driving Sebring Convertibles on Hawaii in the last three weeks and other rental cars in California...
To be honest: I can't tell! I don't know if it's different, since I have forgotten how it felt before!
Sorry...

I hope, but nobody knows!
That's something they are still working on, like the MP3 playback... (what even the cheapest japs cars can do... ).

I talked with the dealership here to see if they could retrofit the electric fold in mirrors and was told they can only come from the factory with it.
