Ok, I've had my hatchback a little over a week and I'm ready to replace every single piece of the electronics/infotainment system. :-(
I hate the bluetooth, the quality is horrible - people on the other end of the line can't hear me well enough to hold a conversation. I also hate that I can't get my phone apps to work properly though the aux port and/or bluetooth. And the voice activation??? OMG don't even get me started. I can't just say "Call Lori" and have it dial Lori. I have to go through a process that takes several steps. I can press one button on my cell phone and say "Call Lori" - no problemo. Why is my $300 cell phone smarter than the electronics in my $22k car?! So far the only thing I've figured out that I can do with one command is "Go Home". Oh and "tune to [station number]".
I would love to get something to replace all pieces of this horrible system. Is this even remotely possible???
I like this little unit: PARROT ASTEROID - Apps, Web, Phone & Music in your car. but I would either have to mount it elsewhere or replace my big nav map (and yes, I think I would miss the large map). I would prefer to just replace the larger unit with something Android-based, but I suspect that's not on the market yet.
I'm willing to spend a few thousand to get better bluetooth, voice command, and audio quality - without sacrificing nav. Any ideas?
