We got the Tech package, mainly because we wanted the leather interior. My wife drives this car and she has fallen in love with the NAV system. She also likes the backup camera. I like having the XM with the traffic integrated into the NAV map, like Google Maps. It lets us know when there are going to be delays along the route we have planned without having to scroll down looking for it. However, I have yet to have the alternative routing system find any alternative routes, even when I know what they are.

I think the energy monitor has entertainment value, nothing more.

Bluetooth for the phone seems to vary with the quality of the phone you have. The connection with my Treo 755P is not as good as it is with my BT headset and it is terrible with my wife's Treo 650. I assume this would not vary regardless of which package you used.

'Hope you find this useful.
