Top looks like CD, the circle of arrows on my Hyundai cycles through the various audio inputs - IPod, radio, Bluetooth etc

Many thanks. I was semi/partly right then.

Being older my car has the selectable use rhomboid on that side. Things obviously evolved over production years. :)

As my car is not in daily use its easy to overlook some of its many features.

Returning to these MF switches it seems on later cars several options were deleted. My car has a 'diamond & star' in lieu of the 'next entertainment and air circulation' switches on later models. I reminded myself while killing time in traffic yesterday that my older car has the later cars options available from within a menu which can be selected. Theres a host of other options assignable to each/either switch not just one each.

Presumably some cost cutting or streamlining at work. Coincidentally i much prefer the paddle shift on mine, the push - pull on both sides of the steering wheel seems more flexible and intuitive than left pull for down shift and right pull for up shift.
