It also reduces the amount of dash space that would have been taken up by a knee-protection system using dash-padding only.http://www.bmwusa.com/bmw2003/images/transparent1X1.gifhttp://www.bmwusa.com/bmw2003/images/transparent1X1.gif

my car has one of those. im scared to have anything on my key ring in fear of having to pick keys outta my kneecap after a wreck. funny a toyota had this system on an econobox before the “top of the line” german car company put one in their luxo cars.
