Does anybody know how do they change the NAV modes as the old school selector that suppose to be on the left of the HSI is removed (see the link)?

Is there any other way to switch between NAV/ILS/TCN modes?
I was wondering if they could do this using MFD buttons or ICP?

I can only speculate but....I noticed it has an Electronic HSI. Maybe one of the knobs is rigged to be a z-axis "rotary" that cycles thru each mode? Might even be the little button (I think it's a button) between the two knobs there? Each press of the knob or button selects a different nav mode.

The EHSI has a square button with an M in the middle of it. This is for mode selection. NAV, TCN, PLS/TCN, and PLS/NAV are the modes available. The rotary knob is for intensity control and BIT Mode selection.

The left rotary knob is for "heading select", the right one is for setting the "course". When you press the right knob you can set the intensity.
