  If a feature can go on soft buttons, it can stay at the fucking factory.

    For real if I wanted RGB footwell lighting I would install it myself. And I did, in my first beater car, as a dumb teenager does. I thought it looked pretty cool.

    But now as a grown man I want a car to start every time, go fast when I step on the pedal, and have AC like a refrigerator. If it’s a truck I want it to pull heavy trailers and not get stuck in mud and THAT’S IT.

    Currently driving a 2008 Crown Vic and a 1978 F350 on propane, both of which do exactly what I want.

    EQ for the sound system?

      My 2004 Honda accord had a good EQ, and it was all controlled with 2 buttons and the radio tuning dial to adjust the levels.

      There is no need for a touchscreen in a vehicle. A small screen for displaying information is one thing, but I should not be compelled to play with what amounts to an iPad when I’m driving a car.

      If the sound system is why the touchscreen is in the car, the sound system can stay at the factory.

    Adjusting mirrors and seats can go on the touch screen as you do that before the drive and I don’t think those can stay at the factory.

      Sometimes I have to readjust the mirrors during a trip depending on how I sit.

      No thanks, mirrors and seats are too important for the touch screen and sometimes need to be adjusted while driving, as you adjust your sitting position.

      And really, I don’t want to spend an extra 10 seconds (if you know the car) or 2 minutes (if it’s someone else’s) to get the seat and mirrors adjusted beofre a drive. I want to get in the car, adjust things quickly, and go.

        How are you people moving in your seat this much? I never had to adjust anything but the rear view mirror and that is manual anyway.

      I think it’s hilarious the people waxing poetic about how dangerous it is to use touch screens while driving are downvoting you because they’re adjusting mirrors while driving.
