problem #1

Jul 172013

BRZ 4-cyl

  • 2,800 miles
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.
