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.

    Slightly pathetic data limitation - 1GB, MG4 Trophy

    Who else suffers from the tiny 1GB of data on the MG4 Trophy? I bought that version car on the basis this higher spec has live traffic and car data (plus the other hardware bits). The car has been to a garage to "fix" the lack of data and no traffic or weather etc etc. Recently I started to...

    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...

    Just used my sat nav for the first time, and the voice volume was low. After some searching (quite a lot actually) I found the answer to the volume control. Not under settings, as might be the logical answer. No "swipe down on the screen" where you find a whole new world of settings...
