Can we fix existing issues before creating new ones, please? I have a rear camera but in darkness it sucks readly badly. And while the car is in reverse the screen is blindingly bright at night. For years I'm considering an XXL cardboard flap to cover the piece of . The adaptive cruise control can turn into a test of courage on a windy road. If it loses view with the vehicle ahead in a curve it will increase speed. The car will happily reject the RFID key but helpfully suggest I should visit a repair shop. The electric tail gate is so depressingly slow I'm pulling out my phone and checking slashdot, watching all youtube videos and solving world hunger and peace before the bloody tail gate has finally opened or closed. What's faster than the tailgate is my neighbours waking up to the tailgate's beeping sound. The stupid engine start button cycles through the car's modes in one way only. No way to go back from engine running to ignition on without turning it off entirely. Which turns off the radio and that will need like 10 seconds+ to boot. The radio is nice enough to remember the last volume setting. The radio will start well before the user interface. So if the radio was playing at high volume before the car was turned off it will do so for several seconds again after being turned on and there's nothing one can do about it. The proprietary navigation system may crash or start to missbehave and the only way to fix that is by stopping and turning the car off completely. Occasionally the car will think the SD card or USB stick with the music has been changed even though it hasn't. Which results in looking for the music again on a user interface that makes Norton Commander on MS-DOS (or a shell on TOPS-20 for that matter) look like an achievement. I could continue
My other car is from the 90s and has the cheapest electronics of that not very long option list. A dream! I just works.
