It would be best not to change what the buttons do very much. It could add unnecessary levels of confusion. "OK, I think I hit the wrong button, and now I'm not sure what mode the system is in... better look down at the controls while I drive along at 60 MPH."
Maybe I'm biased. My old car has a great UI. No touchscreen, just a panel of physical knobs and buttons for media and climate control. The phone integration could be better, but that would really just mean a place to put my phone (without clipping it onto a vent) and a stereo that lets me play/pause/skip songs on my phone using the car's physical media controls.
- galangalalgol 3y agoI think mazdas all donthis and always have. They had touchscreens for abwhile and then went back to buttons around a non touch screen.
- ghostpepper 3y agoMy 2020 Mazda has a touchscreen (that weirdly only accepts input below 10km/h, sorry passengers), but pretty much all the important controls are available as tactile buttons / knobs. The heads-up display is also nice for checking your speed without taking your eyes off the road
- nkrisc 3y agoMy 2018 Mazda3 has the knob and a touchscreen. However the touchscreen is so poor I didn’t even know it was touch-sensitive for quite a while after I got it
- timbaboon 3y agoYeah, my cx-3 has this. I love it. I wouldn't want to go back to a normal touchscreen in my car.
- klyrs 3y agoAs long as there is a dedicated back/home button, it's okay in my experience.
- Rebelgecko 3y agoHyundai I'm looking at has 2 customizable buttons. It's a cool idea, except they really limit what you can make the buttons do (I was hoping it would be possible to use them for climate controls but that's not an option)
