A tracking input (5) receives tracking data, and a controller (9) moves the input regions (31) based on this. The tracking data may include hand tracking data for determining the location of the driver's hands (7,8) on the steering wheel (2), where the controller (9) is operable to move the input regions (31) in line with movement of the driver's hands (7) around the steering wheel (2) .
