I always find it interesting how many times on the internet forums someone will ask a question, and rather than providing an answer to the question that was asked, someone feels it is necessary to tell the person he really shouldn't be asking the question because he is wrong in thinking the question is important.

But in answer to dbot16's question, I do not know; however, I too am waiting for the new i-drive interface, and give it 80% odds to be in the Fall launch of 2010 production.
