Had a rental BMW 330 for a month down in FL. I thought it was very distracting in stop and go traffic. as others have said, you can push a button and turn it off, but you have to do that every time you start the vehicle. I test drove a Cadillac a few years ago that had that feature, I think the sales guy said it couldn't be turned off. I think that was just a particular year or two where that was the case.
