    Is there any functional use of the red LED light that goes across the dash. I noticed that it sometimes flashes but can't figure out why?

    If you are stop during traffic and the car in front of you started moving, the red light will flash to alert you to stop texting and to move it! :ROFLMAO:

    The other alert is when the PDA has detected a targeted object.

    Would anyone know if the SE trim has the LED strip? It doesn't look like it does, but just trying to confirm!
