Subaru Brz Equipment Electrical Radio/tape Deck/cd Etc. Safety Report | July 17, 2013
Reported on July 17, 2013
| THE RADIO HEAD UNIT TOUCHSCREEN IS FAIRLY UNRESPONSIVE TO THE TOUCH AND BUTTONS ARE TOO SMALL. FORCES DRIVER TO SPEND MORE TIME LOOKING AT UNIT WHILE DRIVING THAN A RESPONSIVE TOUCH SCREEN WITH LARGER BUTTONS. SEVERAL TIMES I WAS FRUSTRATED WHEN SCREEN WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE TOUCH OR WHEN THE SOUND BUTTON WAS ACTIVATED/PRESSED INSTEAD OF THE UP STATION/ARROW BUTTON. THE TWO BUTTONS ARE WAY TOO CLOSE. SYSTEM NEEDS A SOFTWARE UPDATE. ALSO, VOICED GPS DIRECTIONS PROVIDED WILL NOT RETURN ONCE A PHONE CALL IS RECEIVED OR PLACED. ONLY THE MAPPED DIRECTIONS ARE ACTIVATED AND CAUSES DISTRACTION WHEN SCREEN MUST BE VIEWED INSTEAD OF DIRECTIONS BEING HEARD. *TR | |
