I might be the one of the weirdos that want buttons back on phones as well lol. π I loved keyboards.
Judging from reviews, people are avoiding VW now because of really shitty infotainment systems...
Oh look they sre following in Hyundais footsteps
Tom Paris was right.
A great reminder that your voice does matter. Apply it other things as well, and things can actually improve...
Imagine paying the same price for a car that lacks the technology of:
-
Smart screen
-
- With heat resistant materials that are designed to resist high temperatures and still function properly (i.e in summer times)
-
- With GPS features, and media access
-
But the screen still sucks because you can literally buy a magnet and stick your phone there, and still be able to do literally everything a smart screen car do.
I mean id still buy it because I prefer cars that are not so impractical, but it's a shame that it still costs practically the same.
Conceptually, a smart screen sounds like a good idea, but the implementation is bad.
Reason why I love my Subaru is that it still has buttons for almost everything, yet still has Android Auto.
I wonder if people who took the decision to put the touchscreens even drive.
and to add insult to injury, I couldn't turn the heater on countless times because the climate portion of the OS was unresponsive. Other times, it would simply say that the function couldn't be performed at the time. Why? No idea.
This is the main problem, not something about the UI being wonky. That my AC can freeze not because of the radiator but because of a shitty UI system? That's insane.
Main reason I canceled my ID4 reservation
