infotainment system

In-car entertainment (ICE), or in-vehicle infotainment (IVI), is a collection of hardware and software in automobiles that provides audio or video entertainment. In car entertainment originated with car audio systems that consisted of radios and cassette or CD players, and now includes automotive navigation systems, video players, USB and Bluetooth connectivity, carputers, in-car internet, and WiFi. Once controlled by simple dashboards knobs and dials, ICE systems can include steering wheel audio controls, handsfree voice control, touch-sensitive preset buttons, and even touch screens on higher-end units.

    How do I? (several questions)

    Radio

    Hi Silly question, is there any way the passenger can adjust the radio volume without interfering with the steering wheel while I'm driving or asking Voice Control to do it (not tried that yet)

    MG ZS Hybrid is a brilliant car

    I'm going to sing my praises for the ZS Hybrid+. I got my ZS in October 2024 and so far have had no major issues with it, i've now covered over 10,000 miles in the car. During the warmer months I get up to and sometimes over 70 mpg although this does drop off dramatically when it's cold. In...

    Three Months In An S5

    So I've had my S5 Trophy Looking Range for three months now. Have to say, I'm pretty disappointed overall. There's just so many wee niggles. Wee cost saving annoyances. The non automatic window closing for instance. Or the lack of a light on the vanity mirror under the visor. Then there's the...
