Tesla continues to rank above average.

For the first time in 28 years of JD Power’s car owner survey, there is a consecutive year-over-year decline in satisfaction, with most of the ire directed toward in-car infotainment.

    All I want is solid gps and Bluetooth.

    I don’t need a fucking dominos app. Or to take my car to the dealer so my AC works again because of a fucking update

      I purposely bought the base dash on my Focus ST. Screen is smaller than a phone like 4 inches at most, has no apps. It Bluetooth syncs my phone for music and calls. There’s no touchscreen, all interactions are dedicated knobs and buttons.

      For GPS I just use my phone and audio directions, my smart watch has the upcoming direction as well. If I really don’t know where I’m going I have a dash mount for my phone if I need it. But that’s not often.

      It’s great honestly and the dash doesn’t blind me driving at night.

      I was also looking at a Mazda before I got this car and their dash is absolutely horrendous. It’s like they just took a Alibaba knock off iPad and welded it on top of the dash. It’s literally in your view of the road causing a small blind spot.

      My 2015 Tacoma has a great gps, but I cannot find a way to update the map, it is 7 years out of date.

        My 2012 Mazda uses a SD card for the maps and last I looked it was over $100 for updates. I wouldn’t buy a car without carplay or android auto these days.

          Mine has an SD card as well, still unable to find a way to update them. At this point i am willing to pay for it

        Oh it’s simple. Just run a USB cable from your pc to the car’s tailpipe.

        Wait until you see what it takes to do so! I had an OEM nav unit in one of my cars, and the map update is sold on a DVD (!) and costs something like $400. I’m going to go with… no. (And yes, I checked to see if an .iso was available on any pirate sources; it wasn’t.) I’ll just run Google Maps or an OpenStreetMap client on my phone, thanks.

          I have yet to find a way to update/update the system, even paying for it.

      We are using a Garmin in our Mitsubishi ASX rather than the built-in navi, probably a custom TomTom. Bluetooth is largely useless and buggy.

      I would have bought a used Lada if it was just for me.

      If it’s an EV I’d much prefer an open source platform. No such things, so far.
