I have had a chance to play with the controller in both the A6 & the Q7. I thought they were both very slick and great to use. The exception is entering a location for the Sat Nav. It's just too slow without a keyboard.

The Audi uses the letters arranged in a circle. A letter is secreted by rotating the knob to the required letter & then pressing down on the knob. After each selection only valid letters remain available. So it does get quicker as you go but it's slooooow.

The feel of all their controls is still the best. I don't know how they do it but everything feels (and for that matter sounds) exactly as it should
