Could you explain us how it is actually working the AutoH on the X1?
I've had this function on my previous car (Audi A6 C7) and I miss it so much, especially that I'm driving in town every day.
I'd like to activate it, but I really don't want to cause any problems / defects to the car.

Regarding your last post about possible "cost cutting" made by bmw, I wonder why then they incorporated most of the hardware and the software (these are the biggest costs) and they didn't add the last and the cheapest part - a plastic button?
