Buttons and text have been made larger, and app icons have been given new colours to enhance clarity and access. An icon in the form of a globe has been added at the top left-hand corner to indicate whether the car is connected to the Internet.

Settings

The options have been grouped together in settings view in order to provide a better overview, potentially making it easier to find the settings you are looking for.

Radio

The radio functions in the centre display have been updated so that when you search for radio stations, you can fine-tune your settings manually in order to locate the preferred signal strength.

Reversing camera settings

The reversing camera can help you to keep more of an eye on the area behind your car while you reverse. The reversing camera has always returned to normal view previously, but after the update your last setting will remain active the next time you start the reversing camera.

The reversing camera can help you to keep more of an eye on the area behind you.

For example, if you prefer to use the 360-degree view from your reversing camera, you can select that setting directly in camera view mode. This setting will then continue to apply the next time you use the reversing camera. You want to switch to reversing camera view, press the screen to enable the icons and then select the reversing camera. This allows you to switch between the different camera views, depending on the type of situation.
