Those "power usage constraints" are the very signs of the potential short term cost cutting measure RealG alluded to. I heard it was more of a limit on the number of module output ports, which also sounds very petty. How much power can a pulse mode low energy remote control use anyway? The RVC and frontal object sensors are useful, but forcing people to give up highly useful existing functionality is rather lame. Even the fact of having such a thread in this forum is rather sad.

To me, this would actually have been a dealbreaker at the moment, I wouldn't replace all garage door openers to some minuscule range bluetooth or (even worse) centralized wifi-based models just so I don't have to clip those ugly remotes onto the visors...
