Where is track Fwd/Back button?

okram · 10-27-2010, 08:57 AM

I had a test drive today and was looking for convenient way to skip to next track on a CD - now, comparing to old e60, buttons (up and down arrows) are no longer on a wheel. Do I miss something or bmw decided to complicate?

You have two buttons on the audio head unit and a rotative button on right part of the steering wheel.
It is so simple :P

Yes, but if I want to skip to next track I must roll the rotative button and then press it and at the same time look at the screen to check if I rolled right... and the buttons on the audio unit are really far...

Sorry for complaining, but I think it is much more complicated then simple solution in the past.

You just scroll down or up and push.
What you have done is on central display or on the big screen.

You are not complaining at all, is your right to have an oppinion.
I know what you are talking about 'cause on the X3 i have that simple left-right button, previos-next i mean.
