huh? It tells you on the LCD what your dial is "set" to.
Maybe on the Autobahn. Not on SE. Tho my '15 S model has numbers on the fan speeds... Unless he's talking about actual temperature?

Sorry, I meant temperature number, such as 70 degree, on climate control.

That article is old and doesn't take into account the declining skill or carelessness of the current driver (the double lane changers). I want to see the car in the lane next to the car in that picture that is in the blindspot. Even better the lane next to that one too. boom. aspherical mirrors. problem solved.

How would that work though? Setting the heat to a smidge into the red on a 60 degree day would product a different temperature in the cabin than setting it the same on a 0 degree day. What would the number be telling you?

Mirrors can't help for other stupid drivers.
Here is the problem - one has to legislate for the stupidest amongst us.
Because people can't remember that objects in the mirror are close than they appear, it had to be printed on the mirror.
Because people can't seem to be able to check their tire pressures, we got TPMS (via the TREAD Act)
Because people apparently drive around in the dark without headlights and T-bone other cars we got side markers.
Because people can't put their seat belts we got starter interlocks and lower powered airbags.
Because people are stupid....
Many of our regulations come about because some people are idiots. Disabling those systems gives those same idiots (and others) reason to sue you.

Just like our public education system.

And I have no problem flouting regulations where it makes sense to, and where I won't be a danger to others.
We have the same arguments in the vehicular cycling community-- urban cyclists who ride to work year-round (as I do, except on days like today when we have 18"+ of snow falling). By legislation, we have to follow the same rules of the road as automobile drivers, even though many of those rules are ineffective at best, and dangerous at worst, for cyclists. I will flout those rules, too, where it makes sense to, and where I won't be a danger to others.
My windshield is broken, I can't decide which tune is best, whether manual or DSG is better, and what octane to run. Oh and who's dick is the biggest, always seems to be a hot topic. Thread was least favorite thing about your GTI forum right?

Don't forget that you don't know which octane to use
