i.e. from main menu (call that level 1), you skip down to level 3, then you have to say "back up" to go to level 2 with the left button. And why does it (arbitrarily) take you to drive select when there's a perfectly good hard button on the dash for that?
Is there any way to make the menus more sensible, level 1 to level 2 to level 3?

Left button up a level, select something else like Driving Assistants. Back to main menu or radio or somwhere else. Now back to Vehicle. Always takes you to Drive Mode, regardless of the last thing you did in there.

but i got use to it now, and don't usually have to even look at the mmi to get to that setting., its sad cause it's like 14 steps to do this... ha

same with the 360 camera, i usually just go thru the extra 6 steps to get it to show when parking etc.

That is a situation I still find very annoying.
