Depends what head unit display you have got and software version you are on, it's only on the newer builds I'm aware running.

Have a look at your infotainment software version to see if its possible first:

Go to: Settings -> System Information (down the bottom)

You'll see something like this:

System information

Hardware: H56
Software: 1664
Display unit/control panel hardware: H40
Display unit/control panel software: 3074
Navigation database: 20.7
Media codec: 3.1.4
Radio database: 1.30.12

Then once you have the number highlighted in bold above, consult the fourth column of this table:



If your result says you can't do it, you can't do it and it seems unlikely it will change ever.  :cry:

If it says you can, then you just need to press a button in the menus  :cool:

I'll talk about becoming primary user later....
