If I'm not mistaken the pictures have been from an Audi MMI system and
they use a hardware dial easily available for the driver. So the part
you can see here is only the visual feedback. (IIRC Audi did some
extensive research to compare this hardware dial concept with other
input system like a touchscreen and the hardware dial showed way less
cognitive load. But its some time that I heard about it in some
psychologie car UI courses). BMW has something similar with iDrive.

But back to the technical UI problem at hand. I would also expect that
the widget would be more like and index and not like the volume
slider. While both have the "round knob" design this one selects from
dynamic content like an addressbook or streetnames for destinations.
You can't use static images, like used for the volume slider knob, for
this.
