Same with viewing/scrolling through your phone's contact list to make a phone call.

Comfort Access is also something that may seem frivolous or useless to those who do not have it, but I would seriously miss it if it were gone. there is something to be said for never having to take your keys out of your pocket.
Good to know, I would definitely benefit from easier access to my music.
With that input iDrive has moved from I don't want it at all to I'll definitely take it. I was previously putting the cars with Nav at the bottom of my list, however the list is so short now the only remaining car has iDrive. Looks to be a welcomed feature. However, after reading the FAQs it seems it is a bit finicky on usability.
