Default C6 Secrets?

I know that when I had my C5 the C5 section had a pretty long and helpful list of "secrets" that either were not in the owners manual, or were cool things to know, or even things that were in the owners manual but you didn't want to necessarily page through it to find it.

I've done a search for C6 Secrets and came up with nothing, so I'm wondering how many of the C5 secrets have just transferred to the C6.

Anyone?

A lot of those are probably in the C6 FAQ sticky.

Maybe they are still keeping them "secret".

Isn't there something about the temperature reading outside in that you can get the current temp immediately by pushing two buttons at the same time on vent system but I can't remember.

Push at the same time (3 buttons):
Fan Speed button, windshield defog button, rear window defog button.

True.

HUD must be in "Track" mode to display the highest G, but it didn't need to be in "Track" when the highest G actually happened.
