Radio is hard to use

Post by robmathieson »

Am I missing something or is it incredibly hard to navigate through an iphone/ipod that is attached to the stereo?

If I'm looking for an album or artist it can take ages of scrolling or dragging to try and find it. Is there a better way of scrolling?

Also, do VW do firmware upgrades to their stereos? They definitely need to improve the user interface.

My mates Astra has a much nice screen and is easier to operate.

That's the only annoying bit for me - the scroll bar u can't hold and drag. U just have to hit the bottom part of scroll bar to make it jump down bit faster than using the down arrow. Other than that I wouldn't say it was incredibly hard to navigate at all!!

Haha, I build web based software for a living, so do a lot with interfaces. Think it could be improved a lot.

Yep, it could do with an A to Z searcher and the scroll bar doesn't really follow your finger very well. Presumably the next generation of those units will see a lot of improvement.
