What is that option button

smolieri · 07-13-2015, 02:43 PM

There are about 5 buttons just below the single cd in the center console. The button all the way to the left. What is it? Looks like a seat.

It's for the seat massager in the drivers seat.

Can anyone tell me what the other buttons are on the same row?

From left to right...seat massage, park distance control, traction control, down hill decent, trunk release, front cameras

smolieri · 07-15-2015, 11:36 AM

In all the cars I have been looking at, I have yet to see a button for front camera.

You're right. There's no button for it. But you can access it after accessing the rear camera. The first menu option I think will enable the front cameras.

The side view camera (located on the corners of the front bumper) was a standalone option on the X5M - they don't all have it. No camera...no button. The active seat button will not always be present either - only if the vehicle is equipped with the Active Ventilated Seat Package.

You were right about the buttons. All makes sense now.

Also, the massager seems useless. I turned it on and I fell something moving but not all that great. Thanks again!

What is? The sideview cameras? I actually think it's quite handy when you're pulling out of a carpark or a small street and you have no way to see if there are cars coming.

Or you pull up to a light and want to look at who is standing on the corner...
