Index Index Configurable Parameters (Switched): There are two additional configurable parameters in the i-Drive configuration application for switched inputs, sensor sensitivity and linked left/right. Sensor Sensitivity: This parameter shifts the position of the switch no- change region. A higher value therefore means that a switch will always be interpreted as ON, whereas a lower value means that a switch will almost always be interpreted as OFF.
