I didn't realise untill this morning that, apart from having the worst interior I've ever seen, my Scooby has this rather pointless button....





Yep thats right, it has a push button to adjust the brightness of the clock.

The thing is, it only dims the clock, nothing else, and even on a pitch black night the clocks glow isn't the least bit intrusive.

Any one got anything better?

 

The sport button in my m3, i want sport all the fucking time!!!

 

Haha that's reminded me that my company car (Abarth 500 Essesse) has a sport button which stiffens th steering up and give you 10FT/LBS more tourque from 3k upwards the thing is the steering is so light in normal mode you have to keep it in sport anyway or is undrivable!

 

The throttle pedal as the performance is SHIT however hard you press it

 

Muz, i was about to post the same thing about my scoob
even more pointless as the dash clock doesnt even light up in mine

 

in my 328 there's a button with no labelling, and that seems to make no discernible differrence to how the car drives whether it's depressed or not!
sits between the leccy window controls for the front and rear.

 

nor does mine in my civic doesnt really bother me though

 

That's to disable the rear leccy window switches so your kids dont climb out of the driving car or decapitate themselves...

 

Im sure that button locks the rear windows if kids are in the back etc...windows will still work from the front controls, but wont work from the back

bassboy

 

nice one! thanks for that.

still useless though as i don't have any kids!

 

it's the m sport button for the rear windows mark

 

my dads scoob has the sti button for the water cooling spray on the intercooler, but his hasnt even got a turbo, its just what subaru pit on them all

 

I think I've seen some korean small cars (hyundai? kia?) with an A/C switch but without air con system

 

Feature: Leaking boot

 

isnt that to turn off the rear windows for kids or something lol

 

Front Fog Lights... or the fact that it as a jack and wheel brace in the boot but there's no spare

 

i had a 95 24 valve ex police senator 5 speeed manual with full electric switches for the windows and manual winders,fookin tight arse bastards,i used to press the button for the windows and quickly remember it didn't have them .

the early lhd escort cosworths have a electric dial tilt for the headlights,it looks unusual because i have never seen the same early ones rhd with it. i have never used it and its a waste of time having one.

 

our 08 clio has a a/c swith but no a/c thats pretty pointless lol

 

Most pointless feature, hmmmm??........... The whole car, its a mk6 RS2000 lol.

 

Does anybody actually use those hooks in the boot to tie things down? They always strike me as being particularly pointless.

 

- The cupholders in the old (1995 - 2000) Transit cause they were always broken

- level adjustable headlights: mandatory in all cars over here since 1990 but no one ever bothers to use them

 

The Horn. when trying to MOVE someone or alert them the damn thing is crap/

 

My truck has one of those stupid handbrakes where you push the small pedal down to engage it. Pointless on an auto as you need to have it Park to take the key out!

 

my bike has lights for the immboliser etc, it doenst even have a immboloiser lol
oh adn it has passinger footpegs even though there isnt room for a passinger

 

my fiesta has a headlight level dial thing, but doesn't do anything, I don't even think its wired up :/

 

It probably doesn't have the headlight motors in them.

 

Before i even opend this thread i was going to mention the scoobys legendary 'bright button'!!!!!!!!! Hahahaha!!!!!!!!!

 

Then dont eat dinner in maccys so often then

 

Thank you! Someone else who understands. I was sat there parked up just pressing it and the misses was like WTF are you going on about. It's just a button.

 

The fog light button on the Evo, they have covers on for gods sake from the factory!

 

Steering stalk in my focus with my aftermarket stereo...didn't bother fitting a stalk adapter

Also perhaps the quick clear front screen as all it seems to do on mine is drain about a thousand amps from the battery, dim everything, and doesn't even clear the screen that quick

 

assuming you've got the mondeo back on the road or will doo in the near future, there are 4 of them in the back, usefull for clipping shopping bags too

the connects even have a "curry hook" on the passenger glove box latch

 

for me it has to be the one that the yellow arrow is pointing at on my granada, its not standard and I have no bloody idea what its for or what it does. its nice an springy when ya press it but it don't click or nothing, its wired right into the fuse box but thats about all i can say, lord only knows. nothing comes on or goes off, just pointless, but i leave it there cus else i will have a whole in the dash.

 

My glovebox light. It doesnt actually light the glovebox up, but the inside of the lid when its open. Whats the fooking point

 

Not on mine but I have dicovered on most bmws that the indicator stalk appears to be pretty pointless

 

my trractor has a pointless button that i dont no what it does or anytrhing think it might be to do with the headland managment system that i dont even no how to use

 

The Sprinters have a useless button that just light up, think its somethin 4 the feulin or something.

 

all german cars come with stalks to the side of the steering wheel and the owners don't know what it does

 

My S-type has traction control. What a fucking joke. I usually have to turn it off in the ugly stuff. POINTLESS. "GOOOOOOOO damnit!" at least I can turn it off all the way unlike some Mercs and Bimmers.

The dynamic stability control however seems to NOT fight me when I counter steer or left foot brake it in the turns. That part of the ABS/TC/DSC works...

 

The most pointless thing in my car is the ejector seat cus the wife is to fat to fit through the sunroof anyway
