just got a 2023 forester; ux is pretty bad too - esp carplay
when I connect my iphone and I want navigation and music, the music is at a reasonable volume but the navigation is deafening and the touchscreen isn't multitouch and is overall pretty bad
I ultimately just gave up and put in a car charger as I can't charge without activating carplay and just use bluetooth which works much better and use the much smaller phone screen for navigation
I don't get why the touchscreens on new cars are worse than those of iphones from >10 years ago
My previous car was a nearly 20-year-old Outback. I don't think I ever looked at the owner's manual to figure out how to do something on the dashboard console. From the articles and discussions I've been following, I'd most likely have the same complaints about my new vehicle too.
It really makes me wonder how they test these things, because with the amount of issues I ran into within the first couple of days of owning the vehicle leads me to believe they don't actually have a quality process in place for the software and UI.
