Does anyone have any theories/insight about how the Accord's infotainment systems will work? Here are my observations and predictions:

-Steering wheel buttons on the right are for cruise control
-Steering wheel buttons on the bottom left are for Bluetooth
-Steering wheel buttons on the top left are for i-Mid

-The i-Mid display is probably the large one on top, and it will be operated with the steering wheel or the big knob on the center stack
-The lower display is touchscreen (I'd guess), but I'm not entirely sure of its function yet...

Anyone have any guesses on which screen will be used for navigation, LaneWatch, etc? Any further speculation?

And for the record I see a glove box lock, so we can all rest easy now.

What do you think about switch/control/thingy to the right of the gear selector? (not the switches for the heated seats). what would that be?

I saw that too, not sure if its part of the car or sitting on top.

Also, not the cup holder appears to have a cover. I forget who always brings that up but he/she can sleep tonight.

In his thread, Longhorn said he thought that was the keyless entry fob (or at least I assume he was talking about that), and I'm inclined to agree.

Are you sure it has a cover? I'm not seeing it

I remember reading earlier that EX-L and above models would have a touchscreen radio, so I'm going to guess that the lower screen is for the radio, and that the selector knob and buttons below the climate panel are to control the navi (which would presumably share the larger non-touch screen with the i-MID). I'm thinking there are probably a few hard buttons dedicated to audio around the selector knob.

Check out the CRV if you want to understand the steering wheel button functionality. Standard stuff. And that's the key fob sitting on the center console. :)

Looks like a home run - inside and out!!!

Right! I read the other post about the keyfob just after I posted.
Funny how some times you cannot tell what something is, and as soon as somebody points it out, it becomes evident!

Honda: I think you did great!

My first though was that there was no cover. But I am having second thouhgts now. You know how on the 8th gen when you open the holder, the semi circles to hol the cop are build into the lid? I cannot tell whether it's just a light effect, but to right side part looks a bit taller to me, which could make it part of the cover. Then again I might be full of air... and forcing myself to see something that is just not there...
