With all due respect it comes across as you not having driven a modern car before.
If you’ve not driven a modern car then you won’t know what you’re missing.
Absolutely, there is a lot of opinion gets thrown about when anything different gets raised here but very little experiance or knoledge to back these things up.
If someone is happy putting a memory stick in their radio and playing a few songs that’s lovely and I’m pleased they are happy, almost all new cars have some similar interface, mine has USB and SD card slots. The mini had a usb and Aux input, the Mercedes we have at the moment has 2 USB ports and an SD card slot.
But all three cars can be plugged directly into my phone and access all the music on there.... and all the pod casts and audio books and of course what the rest of us are doing now in 2017, we can directly stream from our phones on things like Spotify and amazon prime music, without any hassle and using only the buttons on the steering wheel to skip pause play, we can use our voices to search out songs or new content without taking our eyes off the road and intergrated systems allow the handling of calls in and out and reads out text messages, all to avoid the temptation to touch your phone, which usually gets tucked away In a little box.
Apple CarPlay, android auto, app connect, Garmin etc all manor of highly advanced technology all built into the dash working seemlessly and safely, and designed to keep concentration 100% on the road and not on the screen in the middle of the dash.
Don’t need a portable satnav with these new set ups because everything can be streamed from a phone, no map updates because the maps are always the most updated you’d get from Apple or google maps. No mounts on the screen obscuring your view of the road, or distracting your attention when they drop off.
Seriously Puntofan, you need to learn, you can’t say something is good or bad until you’ve actually tried it, used it, lived with it, then you can comment.
SB1500 I wasn’t comeparing fiat to vag or indeed any other manufacturer, what I was saying was that any new car is going to be superior in an like for like accident to any old car. As maxi pointed out a 2017car will punch a hole though a 10 year old car even if it’s bigger. If cars didn’t improve with time no one would ever buy a newer car.
