How did you pair it?

I didn’t. After I posted on here it was dead again. So I exchanged fob batteries. It was the fob I used regularly for over 3 years. So I think we’re good.

My main FOB just died almost 4 years to the day. Took a new CR2032.

I'll be swizzled: I have a two-pack of CR2032 sitting right here in the drawer: my wife got them for her fake candles. So, I'm set (four years coming up in less than three months).

 

[rocket23]

it's a popular size according to the value pack I have.....

 

[rpoffen]

I got a pack of like 20 at Costco a couple months back. Seems like a lot but more and more devices use them. I think I have use 4 so far.

Ok, so this one was new to me.

At dinner tonight I came around a parking place from the back and pulled in the wrong way. When leaving, pulled out forwards and went the wrong way down the parking lane (nobody around). The car on its sweet voice said something like "warning, you are going the wrong way on a one way..." something like that.

This was in a mall parking lot, not a digitized road. I'd find it hard to believe the map/nav software had any idea what I was doing. Had to be the cameras seeing arrows painted on the ground or the direction of the parking lanes.

Either way, found it interesting.

Had no idea Stingers could do that

Had the same warning recently since Council changed one-way traffic flow to opposite direction. Luckily it's a short distance as message is repetitive until GPS gets back on track.

I like how the hatch cover can slide in behind its mounts if you need to put something taller in the back.

Mine fits nicely behind the seats. I like to be able to look out the back window.

I bought my Stinger pre-owned, and the hatch cover was not with the vehicle. I don’t really need it but I am sure I could order it if I change my mind.

Yeah I get that...sometimes I have stuff already in the trunk though and just need it up and out of the way.

Mine's a 2018 and it also does that. Though I did upgrade my nav a while ago with the latest OS, so maybe that's why mine does it.

The button on the side of the shift knob does NOT mechanically lock the shifter in place, it's just an electrical button. It WILL shift into neutral while driving on the highway if you bump it, say while reaching to adjust the temperature knob.

But it WONT shift into reverse, while doing highway speeds!, at least, mine wont.

I've noticed that with all the autos I've had you can just push the stick from drive into neutral.
