using the map app within the connected drive app is probably the most useful feature. (i.e. to send nav addresses to the car). I like this, a lot. Entering addresses in car is time consuming. However, with a mobile device, it's slick.

On the flip side, it did come in handy when my wife parked the car at the other end of a parking lot and I had to find it! I was walking around aimlessly with my phone in my hand and it was slick to find the car. This was very atypical for me, though.

Good luck, all!
+1 all points including being a smart ass! They've disabled the remote honking on the latest version though - boooo!
