A vehicle multimedia system includes a display that displays a
hierarchically structured menu. The hierarchically structured menu may
have a main menu, a plurality of submenus, and menu items. The multimedia
system provides a memory for storing information identifying a menu or
menu item, and a memory control unit for writing information related to a
menu item upon a user's selection of the menu by an operating element or
by automatic return to a main menu, and displaying the information as
selectable menu items identified by the information.
