That's an interesting interface. This caught my eye though:
"The Bang & Olufsen sound system for Bentley has been developed in close collaboration between Bentley’s and HARMAN International’s design and audio engineering teams leading the design"
Samsung owns Harman, Harman/Samsung owns B&O Car Audio, appears they are getting maximum use out of the old B&O reputation/name. As the current non car B&O craters, I wonder what that will do to the perception of B&O car audio in the premium auto market? It's an interesting thing to consider, how closely tied will people think of the two? Will there be a point where the B&O name hurts rather than helps in the premium auto market? And when?

I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus.

BeoGreg:Thanks for sharing. A Moment mood wheel on the dash, good idea (use while waiting at the red light only !). Nice speakers two, fit perfectly with that new GT.

They need a real time traffic sensor linked to the nav system and such. When it detects bad traffic it forces the "mood wheel" to select mellower music to calm the driver down.

Not trying to crash the party , but BeoSonic is no Mood Wheel - move your finger around the circle to change the tone or pinch to adjust the surround feel. To me, this is a BeoPlay feature that can be "tolerated" on small portable speakers or headphones - not for a BL50/90 or a B&O Advanced Sound System for Bentley...
BeoSonic may be in conflict with their sound system objective - and the B&O sound signature:
As with all our sound reproduction systems, the objective is to deliver a musical experience “as the artist intended it.”
There have been times where I just needed to put some Enya on to calm down after a rough day at work.
