For the first time in 28 years of JD Power’s car owner survey, there is a consecutive year-over-year decline in satisfaction, with most of the ire directed toward in-car infotainment.

Absolutely a problem, that shit should be standardized amongst manufacturers so they can be easily replaced.

    No, because there is already a standard that worked for decades until it suddenly didn't. The old standard is fine and doesn't need a new one, just a return to actually being used.

    But then how will they get someone to spend $40k on a car with a slightly better screen a few years later?

    A couple years ago I had a salesman try to use the "bigger screen" as the big selling point for going up in trim. I asked him why the hell would I want to take my eyes off the road to look at the screen while I'm driving. He said it was safer because I could see more, then I asked if that mean the cheaper trim didn't have the same safety standards as the more expensive one.

    So anyway, the wife "convinces" me to buy the more expensive trim...
