Touchtronic gear shift on steering wheel.

Can anyone enlighten me as to where this operation is on the wheel? Is it the same buttons that control the audio/computer and if so how do you "switch" over to them? If anyone has this option I`d love to learn how you find it compared with the full auto...thanks in advance.

No, the switches are on the back of the steering wheel. I use it when I want to stay in the power band, which is often

Acceleration can be slow when in normal auto mode...
