What Does This Button Do?

It sat next to a button for the stereo power and hazard lights.

So, what would a button with two chairs facing each other control? Would a hologram of the music screen pop up between the driver and front passenger? Did it switch the sound settings to be more attuned for either seat?

Nada. This is the button to bring up the screen to control the heated front seats.

Besides the fact that heated seats are generally denoted by three wavy arrows pointing up around a seat, the actual screen itself shows the seats facing outward, not inward as they are on the button.

This little button became endearingly awkward, unlike the iPod connection, which simply didn’t work at all. Staring at the Bowers & Wilkens emblems on the speakers and the blank “My Music” screen bummed me out a lot more than this button icon flub. I’m sure there is a lot of sympathy for me out there right about now.
