The problem is that backup camera's are mandated safety equipment, and that means a screen. And if you have to put in a screen and all that infrastructure anyway, it's only a few more dollars to add a proper infotainment system.
I lost the key to my car since last August and just found it a few months ago. Car needed a bunch of work since it had some problems and just got it back on the road this week. They finally canceled work from home so I needed the car. I have been using my wife's since we both really didn't need it much at the same time. Anyway my car is an 07 basic model car and hers is from 2015 and has a backup camera. Going back to my car is crazy just because of how used to the backup camera I had gotten. I immediately look to my center console area and go oh yeah... I then wondered just how many people have the issue of going backwards with car technology like I did!
Still rolling my old 2000 Honda CRV. I know nothing about any of this new car witchery.
Nice, how many miles? Did you buy it new, or how did it come to be yours?
If something like the AC, gear switching, volume controls, or another essential function is only usable via the touchscreen, I'd just stop considering that car because it's unsafe and time consuming to use touchscreens in cars. They're right, too much tech in cars is very annoying and I think most people (like me) would rather have dedicated physical buttons to control most actions in a car.
Oh shit you unlocked a memory for me.
Can't find it right now because I'm at work, but I believe one of the "Real People" ads from Chevy that Zebra Corner parodied on YouTube, had a person literally say they like modern car tech because it lets them "look less at the road", which is boring.
I mean sorry, but wtf?
