The new software has a Halloween edition, and it’s fun.
When the car is parked, it shows up on the screen as a ghost under a white sheet. It sits in front of a haunted house with a full moon and jack-o’-lanterns. When people walk around the car, they show up as skeletons.
My little clip doesn’t do it justice. It’s much cooler on the screen. This is just a teaser of what it looks like.
It came with update 2026.38.3. My car is on 2026.38.5.1 now.
