yeah its not on the boot lid its on the trunk itself towards the bottom it glows and its a good idea but it takes away from being able top do this with the gf

 

Gotcha.. I hear "trunk" and "latch" and my mind automatically jumps to incidences from when I was a kid.. As for the recessed finger grips, yeah, I knew that was there..... last week. lulz

 

I did not know about the trunk, center consol, or credit card holder. I new about the sunglass holder but mine do not fit, I use that change holder all the time and no noise.

 

for real I never knew I have a tire repair kit ... cuz it was never there !

damn dealership never gave it to me ... found out years later oh well

 

I couldn't see putting my credit card in there for any reason but I could see using it for parking garage tickets or tollway tickets.

 

I didnt realize til after a year that theres a button by the license plate to pop the trunk...my brother found the button and I made a thread about it lol

 

Did you guys know that the rear view mirror is double jointed??

 

Did you know that the owners manual states that you should not run your car into walls or jump it off cliffs.... It also says you should not flip the car upside down.

 

Did you know that your RX8 dash lights have two color options at night?

 

wow! i never knew that!!

lol

 

Here is something else that VERY FEW people knows...

The hidden RX-8 navigation menus

All codes are activated by clicking the MENU button on your center console. You will get the choice of "Select Destination" or "Setup Menu".

Choose "Setup Menu"



Then select "System Information"



Then select "Version"



The three hidden menus are:

System Information: UP UP DOWN DOWN



System Analysis: UP UP UP DOWN DOWN DOWN UP DOWN



Yes, my RX-8 really does look like a Ferrari.

 

Did you know the rear center piece between the seats comes out? There's even a pocket in the back of that piece.

 

I think it was a year before I realized there was a trunk handle. I too saw someone using it and was shocked!

I looped my index finger into the latch and pulled down. I always wondered if I wouldn't move it in time and smash my finger in the trunk.

What is god mode? Isn't it UP DOWN UP DOWN A B START?

 

Wow I cant believe the other options in the Navi.....It sounds like a special move in Mortal Kombat with all the "up, down" arrows....lol

 

I don't have NAV...

 

It took me about a week to notice the sunglass holder, never realized there was a clip on the visor for cards, read about the trunk button when I first bought the car and have used it since, read on here about the handle on the trunk about 3 weeks after owning the car (although I still use the latch, quicker IMO), read in the manual when I first bought it about the jack and all that (figured it would have one since all cars I've owned have), don't have NAV so no comment there, read about the middle compartment flipping up in the manual as well. In a given period of time took about 1 month to find out almost everything compartment of the car. I'm still waiting to find that button to make it a ***** magnet.....dammit where the hell is that thing.....

 

Oh, ***** magnet only came in certain years, editions, and colors. You may be able to go to the dealership and ask them for the install.

 

lol ... didnt know the nav thing either ... wait mine doesnt have nav so why would i care lol

 

What middle compartment...are you talking about the dash or the armrest/drive shaft tunnel where you put your arm when you're shifting?

 

the part where you put your arm i believe

 

Some people may not know that after you slide the lid back you can lift it up

 

OK....you saved me countless hours looking for some mysterious compartment on my dash

 

I'm sure this is easy to miss but there is a carpet/mat holder by the foot rest of the drivers seat to keep it from moving around........

 

lol lol damit i shoulda not said anything ... jk

lol i found that one while i was vacuuming my car a year or so ago and i sat at the vacuum station for almost 30 mins trying to figure out what it was!!! coz my stock mats were covered by the other ones i didnt see the hole!

 

I had the mat holders in my old car, so those I was ready for!
