Consumers can also view more information within the gauge cluster, like song titles and incoming calls.

The large touchscreen and remote touch work alongside Siri Eyes Free and the head up display to keep you fully informed with eyes on the road. The remote touch is designed to fit under your hand like a tv remote or computer mouse.
