that's to prevent the thunk of the transmission before it engages due to above idle revs.

One I figured out randomly a while ago:
Holding down "mode" on the steering wheel controls turns the radio on and off.

Here's one I just found out when wiring halos...
DRLs do not work when you start the car and have the parking brake engaged. However if you already have the car running and the parking brake is not engaged, then you engage it, DRLs will stay on... weird.

Another one....
in "party mode" the middle row (second row) speakers do not get any power.

Say wha???

Yep, try it. If you turn on "party mode" there will be no sound coming out of the back seats. Open the doors to confirm and then you'll notice. At first I thought something was wrong with my speakers!

That's because it's designed to "amplify" the lift gate speakers and increases the power to the sub. Well, not increase the power but increase the gain.

The things I learn from this forum.

What sub?

Sorry, it doesn't do anything to the sub. Whether you have it or not.
Where's that damn [MENTION=101281]Owner's Manual[/MENTION] when you need it?!

Not entirely true. Depends what stereo you have. JBL premium system works differently. Party mode does not cut back door speakers and does boost the sub.
This one is something most people probably know. That being said if you're out of the car and need to put the back window up or down you can use the key. Turning left with the key in the tailgate lowers the window. Turning right on the key automatically locks the doors and puts up the window.
It should added that using the key is not automatic, like the button in the center counsel is. If you stop holding the key over, the window stops wherever is is at the time. That is true left or right....up or down.
P.S. A thread like this on the 4th Gen Forum from a few years ago turned out to be so informative that I still have the print out. Thanks for starting this one Model T !

I literally just read a thread talking about this. Definitely didn't know that one prior.

Yeah, just found this out the other day. Had no idea what that button was for.
2013 LE front floor amber LED's dim when you put tranny into D. Brightens in P.
I tapped into the circuit to add my own LED panels. I would have expected the OEM LED's to turn off but they just dim. Think I'm going to install a switch for my LED's as it's pretty bright at night even in D. Or figure out how to tap into the overhead console light circuit to shut them down completely.
