I'm sure I would figure it all out at some point if I owned the car but I don't see any real value add with the latest tech. YMMV.

Yep, seems many of the car companies are into this "gee whiz" tech. A turn off for me, but maybe those generations who used laptops for teething rings consider it to be cool stuff?
I only used the Mustang as an example here...
