Does the 2013 iDrive controller show "Radio"or "Media"

Does anyone know or have a link to a pic of the 2013 iDrive controller? Just wondering, I hope it's "media" as it makes more sense if you switch use from radio, iPod and Sat radio. Couldn't find any pics that show this.

Still waiting, my X3 is probably available in about a week but I just made that last payment on my 5-series and am 5K under the miles. I am going to be patient (and try to save some $$) and pick up the week of 6/17.

Thanks!!

On the steering wheel the button that switches between sources is labeled "mode"

That's handy. I don't know why people complain about iDrive etc.. with things bs like "it takes 5 minutes to change a radio station" when BMW gives so many options for the same choice. And don't most people pre-set their radio stations? I suppose when traveling but that's why Sat radio is nice.

Thanks

Love that Fineline Wood trim too! Unfortunately the only way for me to get it is with the pricey Premium package
Wish they had it as a stand alone option

Idrive works very well, especially changing radio stations. I did find complications with searching music from a USB. So many options to sift through and to exit for another tune is so complicated while driving.

Overall, the unit is excellent.
