Interior OCD poll

MashinBenzin · 08-15-2018, 12:30 AM

Curious as to the subset of users that think a sync button is desireable, but also like to have a phone-holder 'adding' to the interior design.

For clarity - not the BMW clip in ones in the armrest.

I sync the temps manually for OCD reasons, could not have a phone holder.

Yes to sync button, no to phone holder or (worse still) people using standalone sat nav units

I'd rather get lost than use a stick on satnav.

Standalone Sat Nav makes me want to

No holders unless on holiday in a crap hire car. Sync is OK but I don't miss it from the X5.

The sync button is just bizarre that its missing! Old e84 X1 had it and the f31 for some reason doesn't it!

I'm looking at a brodit centre console mount at the moment as I don't trust RTTI all the time, so would be useful to compare to waze easier.

Yes to a sync button AND to a fecking mute button on the steering wheel for calls.

djcowlin · 08-15-2018, 03:50 AM

Sorry, what's a sync button?

They put it on the E9x but dropped it on the F3x.

When pressed, it allows the adjustment of both passenger and drivers temperature from one knob (drivers side). So the temps are both in sync.

I have it on my Merc.

djcowlin · 08-15-2018, 04:09 AM

Aha! I thought as much but was bamboozled by the apparent 'phone link. Will now vote.

It's a C63 AMG so you are forgiven

Oh....a 'dual' button.

Cannot get too excited about sync button. Would prefer Andriod auto available on BMW's. As an Apple refusnick, BMW's decision got to offer Andriod auto is adding to my reasons my current and 5th BMW may be my last.

OneExtra · 08-15-2018, 06:21 AM

Love my sync button, always press it when the Mrs leaves the vehicle

mcoops · 08-15-2018, 06:43 AM

Sync would be great. I do have a phone holder even though I don't like it much. iPhone 6S is too big for the cupholder, and I don't like to have my phone sliding around. I have the holder stuck to the windscreen on the drivers side, in a position which braces the phone against the A pillar when it's mounted. Occasionally use Waze so it's good for that too.

Russbmw · 08-15-2018, 05:31 PM

Sync button yes. Can't honestly see why you'd want differing temps if, like me, it's only me in the car most of the time.

RobUK · 08-16-2018, 12:54 AM

I don't get it with this obsession about the passenger & drivers side temps being exactly the same, so no to that. As for phones stuck on the dashboard...

You have a phone holder stuck to the windscreen

Get out. Now.

I know, I know. I don't use face cream though, does that help?
