2 more options...
Believe I can still change my build. There are 3 options that I didn't check - Carbon Ceramic Brakes, Rear Entertainment, and Night vision. I know for sure I will not get CCB's.
Left with thinking of Rear ent or night vision are worth it. Night vision just sounds cool. Have an almost 1 year old, so the rear ent could be useful (though we are more of books over screen time parents) Thoughts? Also does the night vision destroy the appearance of the front grilles? Anyone have a picture of a LCI grill with night vision? For rear ent, is the remote built into the rear center armrest or is it a separate remote. Reading reviews from 2013 or so, my takeaway is that it is a badly designed system. Any changes to it? And where is the dvd changer located - trunk, front center console or somewhere else? Thanks

I don't have night vision or rear entertainment, but the DVD player is well hidden in the glove box. You can open the glove box and not even know it's there. There is a small handle to pull on in the upper side of the box which releases the player to tilt down for disc changing. Changing discs not advised if you're trying to drive at the same time.

I think you're over thinking things and should go with your first instincts. The idea of night vision sounds nice, but I'm not sure the application is worth the money. There are threads here talking about it that you can search. Frankly, I don't think your 1 year old is any less safe without it. As far as rear entertainment, unless you're keeping it for over 3-6 years it seems a waste for a 1-3 year old. You can always get that installed later, even with a better aftermarket system.

Thanks guys. I decided not to get the options. Decided the kid is better of with books and just talking with us in the car.
For the night vision - the grill looks ugly with it. Not going for it. Bronch - thanks for posting the pics of the grille with night vision. That was the deciding factor for me.

Night vision is fairly useful if you live in an area that has zero to little light. It will alert you with pedestrians and animals crossing the road. |

First off I love the ccb, sure you don't want them =p. Don't waist money on the night vision unless you want every option just because.. I have it and use it to detect deer and people walking dogs on the street but it's a bit slower then I would like. If you have kids rear ent is a must if you don't have young ones then skip it. Good luck.
