I have 2 smallish screens on mine, one that flips between the backup
camera and info about the radio station or other things running,
outside temperature and such. Both screens, the only controls you
have are to do with Menus, setting speedo and fuel diplay and such.
There's a small graphic of the car that shows what lights are on
and cruise control settings if on and such, nothing too exotic.

Mine are as well, although I have duplicate controls for a lot of
that (radio volume, phone controls, Menu arrow keys and such) on
the steering wheel where they are a little easier to get at..
