A method of controlling a vehicle feature control device comprising a morphable pad (210; 650; 710; 810) having an array of switches and a display (220; 720; 820) displaying a user interface (720, 722, 724), wherein the switches are scale motor switches, piezo switches or electro active polymer switches capable of achieving a different tactile feel as provided by an independent adjustment of the height of the switches, the method comprising: configuring a tactile feel of a first subset of said array of switches of said morphable pad based on a first layout of vehicle feature controls on said user interface; detecting by the morphable pad a highlight input or a selection input, wherein the selection input is a press input involving a minimum amount of force sufficient to activate a switch of the morphable pad and wherein the highlight input is a proximity or touch input detected by a sensor on top of the switches and involving a force insufficient to activate said switches of the morphable pad; in response to receiving a highlighting input, highlighting a portion of the display corresponding to the highlight input; and, in response to receiving a selection input, updating the first layout of said user interface to a second layout of the user interface and reconfiguring the first subset of said array of switches to a second subset of said array of switches responsive to the updating of the first layout of said user interface of the second layout, the second subset of said array of switches reproducing the second layout of the user interface, wherein the morphable pad comprises support devices in between each switch such that when multiple switches with the same function are adjusted to form a single button (640, 660; 730, 750, 770; 910), those switches respond uniformly to user pressure input applied to any of the constituent switches for allowing the user to use multi-touch swipe gestures on a combination of switches. wherein the switches are scale motor switches, piezo switches or electro active polymer switches capable of achieving a different tactile feel as provided by an independent adjustment of the height of the switches, the method comprising: configuring a tactile feel of a first subset of said array of switches of said morphable pad based on a first layout of vehicle feature controls on said user interface; detecting by the morphable pad a highlight input or a selection input, wherein the selection input is a press input involving a minimum amount of force sufficient to activate a switch of the morphable pad and wherein the highlight input is a proximity or touch input detected by a sensor on top of the switches and involving a force insufficient to activate said switches of the morphable pad; in response to receiving a highlighting input, highlighting a portion of the display corresponding to the highlight input; and, in response to receiving a selection input, updating the first layout of said user interface to a second layout of the user interface and reconfiguring the first subset of said array of switches to a second subset of said array of switches responsive to the updating of the first layout of said user interface of the second layout, the second subset of said array of switches reproducing the second layout of the user interface, wherein the morphable pad comprises support devices in between each switch such that when multiple switches with the same function are adjusted to form a single button (640, 660;
