does anyone have a clearer picture or know what all those buttons located directly under the shift knob do/are? I'm guessing those are probably for side view mirrors and heated seats? any other ideas?

the ones directly behind the shifter are the nav controls. the ones behind them are the heated seats. the mirror controls are on the door. thanks for the pic i needed that for another answer.:)

Those would be the Navigation Controls. I wonder if the Japanese HDD Nav will be available here in the US. It looks sweet.

Heh...zoom beat me to it by 1 min. :p

hehe, np on the picture...the first time i saw those buttons, i immediately thought push button starter...then by the way the button is shaped, i thought maybe it might be the side view mirror button...but now i see that on the door handle right above the power window buttons...

so for those that have navigation, are you allowed to "type in" certain destinations? if so, how is this done? are you limited to pressing up or down to input letters and numbers?

One's the ejector seat I believe.

Yes, that's the "NAG" ejection switch not the NAV. ;)

sweet, dude...thanks for the pic...

my only qualm is, wouldn't a better position be on the steering wheel along with all the other volume control knobs?

also can anyone answer my last question of whether you're required to select a preinstalled destination or if you can actually "type in" a destination of your own? if so, how would you type that in? by scrolling up and down through alphanumerics?

in all likelyhood, there is a big set of letters, like

A B C D E F G H I
J K L M N O P Q R
S T U V W X Y Z

or a layout similar to that, depending on what you put, the system will filter out letters that CANNOT follow after the previous letter in any known destination stored on the disc, then change that after each new letter you select.

Selection is probably a simple scrolling method, like holding the knob in a direction will move the selection in that direction untill the pressure is released, highliting as well as enlarging the current selection.

that reminds me, does anyone know if an "auto" feature can be put in for the passenger window for both passenger and driver side controls with pinch protection/
