infotainment

Infotainment (a portmanteau of information and entertainment), also called soft news as a way to distinguish it from serious journalism or hard news, is a type of media, usually television or online, that provides a combination of information and entertainment. The term may be used disparagingly to devalue infotainment or soft news subjects in favor of more serious hard news subjects. Infotainment-based websites and social media apps are gaining traction due to their focused publishing of infotainment content, e.g. BuzzFeed.

    Infotainment video MP4 and Music MP3 files

    I have put video and music files on a memory stick and plugged that into the phone USB socket in the front centre console. I could play music files and video, may come in handy to pass time waiting for charging.

    Infotainment screen freeze

    Hi I had the screen stay blank after start up today. I tried everything but still blank until I reversed and the camera came on then when I put it into Drive the screen came on as if nothing had been wrong. So if this happens to you try the reverse trick. Hope this is useful.
