    "However, I've found that sometimes it's hard to press the correct spot on the band "buttons"...." There in a nutshell you have described the fundamental flaw with using touch screens in a moving vehicle, no feedback. When you hit a piece of trim instead of a button with tactile feedback, you know immediately. "Recently, I became impatient...." Recently, lol? Not to be unkind, but from a few of your posts and nearly all by certain of your coworkers, I am beginning to think that terminal impatience is a requirement for employment at Edmunds. Consider the infamous Jetta start button debate.

    Terminal impatience? I believe that was in the original job description.

    Whether it was the Dodgers or the Angels, the only thing you missed while it was frozen was the other team scoring.

    Oh another post about touchscreen feedback and reliability, we can have a "discussion" on how solid buttons are better again. Meanwhile, ninety percent of the population and every auto manufacturer will continue to ignore us...
