    Hello,

    My Cali just came in last week and I noticed a rocker style button with another button on it in the middle on the left back side of the steering wheel. I looked though the manual and couldnt not find any info about it. Any ideas? I have the carbon wheel with the shift lights. THANKS!

    How do you like the carbon wheel? Was it worth the investment?

    I am surprised you didn't find it in the manual. Any way the rocker on the left is for the volume up and down (keep the down pressed long enough and it will mute the radio)
    The button in the middle is either to answer, end a call and also to use the voice activation.

    You also have a rocker on the right hand side. This one is to go through songs or radio stations. The middle button is to change source.

    How do you like the car?

    actually the detailed explanations can be found in your Infortainment manual, separate from the Owner's manual.

    I had no idea there even WERE buttons back there. Thanks for the explanations. The up position on the left rocker raises volume and down position lowers it. The up position on the right rocker advances the songs or stations to the next one, and the down position goes back to the previous song or station. I didn't know about the mute feature so I'll try that next time.

    Does anyone know if there is a way for the rockers on the right to go through the "saved" radio stations instead of just to the next available one? Driving me crazy trying to figure it out....

    My 2010 and my 2012 both have the carbon wheel with LEDs and it really looks great. The LEDs help with RPM management although after 36,000 miles in a Cali I can just about tell by the sound when to shift, and I early on have learned to see the tach while still watching the road so the LEDs are not quite as important as one would think. They are WAY COOL though :D

    LMAO I didn't know they existed until my 2nd month of ownership when I read about the buttons on F-chat.

    Don't think there is a way to cycle through the saved stations, however if you push the left middle button to activate the voice control you can just say the name or number of the station.

    There is always this long pause when I say "Howard Stern" - am I being judged :)
