you have it right, those are card holders, one of my sales friend who works at a dealer briefed me on that.

In my owners manual it says the 'slits' are a map/coin holder.

On cars with driver assistance option this area has no slits but buttons ie switch to switch off parkatronic.

Indeed they are cardholders! Funny, it's nowhere in the manual. I do have parktronic but I don't have buttons for that, its activated by "slowly" passing a fitting parking space, stopping and putting the car in reverse. It then kindly asks whether you will use the assistance.

First time I used it it felt funny. The car even brakes...

Very good looking, although I'm not a fan of the cloth seats and those wheels. In South Africa I think the Avantgarde interior requires leather.

Yes there is a problem but I'm almost due for the first maintenance (21000 km now...) and they told me there's new firmware & software from garmin as well.
We'll see if that helps.
