No. Still in the glove box. That is (for BMW) in-dash, since the glove box is in the dash...

I've had that in my Japanese build Toyota for the last 3+ years. It pains me to see that the Germans have not gotten it right, yet, especially since I am German myself.

The German engineers got it right, from the safety point of view. They don't want accidents, because somebody was paying more attention to the damn CD changer than to the traffic.
