Question Questions For Existing MyLink '13 Owners

I have to decide shortly whether to continue with my '13 NAV order or pick up a '12 off a dealer lot.

I spent some quality time with a MyLink last weekend.

I liked the look of it and the functionality.

However, I felt the placement (and viewing angle) forced me to take my eyes off the road for extended periods of time to accomplish tasks. For example: switching directly to one of the favorites I had setup on the different input sources. Also looking at the rear view camera took my view away from all the other mirrors and windows.

Note: I'm 6'3"

So the questions are:
- How long do you have to take your eyes off the road with the MyLink to accomplish your desired task?
- Have you ever felt the time you were not looking out the window compromised safety?

I know the steering wheel controls can be used for some tasks. I'm not referring to those.

Thanks in advance!
