It's the best. I have a button to take me directly to my phone, radio, cd or options menu. Can't wait for the new screen and software. You must order a heated steering wheel, its crazy.
1) When you talk, your voice goes forward, so push the switch forward for communication.
2) The navigator usually sits on your right, next to you, so push the dial to the right for navigation.
3) The entertainers sit behind you when they sing, so push the dial back for entertainment.
4) As the driver, it is very important that you feel comfortable with the interior temperature, so pull the dial toward you to adjust the climate settings.
5) The car drive is under you, so you push the dial downwards to provide access to the car's control panel.
Sounds pretty simple to me.....

yes i totally agree....the natural brown interior totally gives it the contrast it needs....i call it touch of class!!!
For the finishing touch, I would also opt for the black roof-liner

The heated steering wheel sounds like something I could use...NOT!
Nice car!

INice color. It works well. About the Idrive. I think that area is starting to look very cluttered. What was wrong with the simple rotary? I found some simple tips to remember where to point the rotary dial without looking at the screen.
1) When you talk, your voice goes forward, so push the switch forward for communication.
2) The navigator usually sits on your right, next to you, so push the dial to the right for navigation.
3) The entertainers sit behind you when they sing, so push the dial back for entertainment.
4) As the driver, it is very important that you feel comfortable with the interior temperature, so pull the dial toward you to adjust the climate settings.
