Now, before I begin, I have to tell you that I'm a bloke. Which means I don't read instructions. Which means I 'figured out' the i-drive through continued use.
So, we've now had our 5er for almost a year and I've only just found out that you don't need to keep pressing 'back' 'back' 'back' to go from, say, satnav to the radio.
If you're in satnav mode and want to change something in the entertainment options, then simply pull the knob backwards and hold it for a couple of seconds and it will switch from one to the other without having to go through all the menus. Likewise, to get back to satnav, push it to the right and hold it.
Can't believe I've only just found this out.
But it saves a shole lot of
So, I thought as I didn't know, it's possible other people didin't.
(Anyone else not know this and willing to admit it.)
