The Return of common sense. Let's keep the trend going!
- marklubi 2y agoPhysical buttons alone don't solve the problem. Have a relatively new Subaru, if I don't wait long enough after turning on the car, the front and rear defrost buttons won't register that I pushed them (my son thought I was crazy until he had the same issue). Similar story with the windows down buttons. I'll push them all the way down (past the detent), but if the car hasn't been running long enough, it won't register. Almost as bad as no physical buttons. Infuriating when you take a specific action, don't get a response, and have to do it again.
- clbrmbr 2y agoGot this issue in my ‘24 Camry with the volume. If I had the music cranked up previously and then I turned on the car there’s a lag before you can turn off or turn down the volume. I love the CarPlay feature, but I also miss good old 90s era aftermarket radios.
- nothercastle 2y agoMy Toyota has the same problem, if you turn on the car and hit the bottoms before the infotainment boots up the lights will turn on but the defrost won’t start
- RandomBacon 2y agoMy RAM truck's unlock buttons are like that. It often won't register the first unlock and I have to press the button on the inside of the front driver or passenger door a second time.
- glitch003 2y agofwiw, tesla, the biggest "no physical buttons" company, does not have this problem at all. it's always very responsive, window buttons always work, there's no "startup" delay at all. so i guess the choice is between companies that do tech poorly (legacy automakers) and one that does it right but with a big touch screen.
- piperswe 2y agoBMW does tech pretty damn well. Even though they're throwing everything on a screen nowadays, at least the screen is extremely responsive and (once you're used to it) quick to navigate
