It's 100% driven by your phone, what you're seeing is just a video stream from the phone. The infotainment system essentially acts as a dumb terminal. The phone feeds it video, and it feeds the phone X,Y touch coordinates. It also feeds the phone some data about the car, but there is no way for the car to directly modify the interface since it's literally just a video stream.

- jaywalk 5y agoSome car companies are trying to charge a subscription fee for heated seats, too. They obviously control whether it's enabled or disabled, but my point was that when you're using it the car doesn't control the interface.
