Yes it should, but it does not. Here is my reply in the other forum:

Yes, thats how it works. I agree, this would be significantly more usefull if both functions worked at the same time. Did BMW expect us to go into the IDrive everytime we switch from REV to DRIVE?? Looks like it....just another example of offering great technology but not quite getting it.

Hopefully we will get an update to fix this, but I wont count on it.
