And I also think I saw a drawer-kind-of numpad (push-in-push-out) for the BMW 7-series, can anybody confirm that?
Maybe the E70 will have one of those? |
The E65 7 series does have the drawer numpad. My E60 does not have one, but the voince command system works well for the most part, especially when you're just saying the numbers out (instead of the name of the person). Also, when you activate voice command it mutes the stereo, beeps once, and waits for your command. Although there are other sounds (e.g. road or wind noise) that sometimes confuse it, the stereo is not a problem since it is automatically muted during Voice command.
