Comment Re:Most of the time they are ok... (Score 1) 215

We have two in our house in Houston, but we only use one of them. The one that we rely on will ice over if it stays below freezing for several hours, which it has this year. They are very old units. Hopefully the technology is of better design now. When we get the main one replaced this year, I see no reason not to install a conventional unit.

Comment Software-defined braking (Score 1) 173

Software-defined braking is standard on all Audi models. However, emergency braking requires the Hardware Braking Assist Package, which extends the functionality of the braking system to apply negative force to forward motion by the use of various frictional surfaces. Cost $1899 US. Would you like to purchase now? 1. Ensure that the car is at idle and not in motion, 2. Swipe your card on the card reader mounted to the front of the right rear passenger lower seat escutcheon. (or enter your card details now using the wiper and signal stocks on the steering wheel column.) 3. Turn off the car and restart the ignition. 4. Tap on the brake pedal 3 times approximately 1.8 seconds apart while rolling down the driver's window. 5. Enjoy!
