It’s called the Touch Screen Remote (TSR), and thanks to its 5-inch display, it’s more like a phone than a cumbersome tablet.

The TSR, which has a display resolution of 1280 x 720, is held in place by integrated magnets and deploys itself from the top of the rear center console at the touch of a button. Powering it is a four-core processor, and 1GB of onboard RAM. It also comes with a three-axis accelerometer and a proximity sensor, haptic feedback and a 3,200 mAh lithium-polymer battery.

So what can you do with the TSR? Expect the usual, such as having control over the 14-way adjustable backrest and cushion, seat heating and ventilation, the five massage functions, armrest heating, full climate control access, cabin lighting, panoramic sunroof, sunshade and rear window blinds, plus the 2,200W, 18-speaker optional Naim audio system.

You can also work the optional Mood Lighting system, tailoring the ambient color and intensity to your preferred setting.

However, unlike other similar devices, the TSR will also let you access a variety of driver information, things that are usually only accessible to people sitting in front. With that in mind, the car’s current speed, journey information, exterior temperature and a complete navigation interface reside at your fingertips.
