infotainment

What do you think of the circular screen in the 2026 MINI Countryman E? Did you find it a fiddle to use, especially the heating/climate controls?

People are reporting issues with the software; have you heard about this? The fact that almost every function happens through this worries me as a potential purchaser of this car.

Thank you!

Hi,

Do you know if it's true that Volkswagen is putting a/c and heating control buttons back on its vehicles for 2026? I'm not a fan of having everything on screen. Changing basic settings can take my attention off the road for longer than it's safe and it's so easy to press the wrong setting by mistake. Turning off the heated seat when at its highest takes four swipes on my Golf. I don't have voice control. Buttons are far more instinctive.

Thanks.

I don't like screens like large tablets stuck on the dashboard; I like a minimalist look, such as that of the Mazda3 hatchback, though I've had five different examples of the Ford Focus over my 'long life'! If I go for a 2021 or 2022 car can I get the relatively small screen changed to an even smaller one?

On my Peugeot 2008 (2020 model), how do I change the display from mph to kmh?

I have a Renault Captur and want my media display to have the default screen in radio mode, but every time I turn my engine on, it defaults to the home screen.

Any ideas?

I am having radio trouble with my 2008 Ford Mondeo 1.6, radio model 6000CD. The stereo goes to phone mode and won't go back to radio/CD; only way to get it to reset itself is after the car has been locked for over an hour.

Hi,

I am a proud owner of a new Opel Astra SRi with onStar features. I got 12 months of free subscription and three months of free WiFi. My question is, after three months WiFi subscription, who will provide me with WiFi access and what is the monthly/yearly cost of it?

Is the Audi Sound System worth getting as an option? I can't find any info on it comparing it to the standard system.
