Like / not like?

Post by vitara john » Fri May 13, 2016 1:33 pm

We all say why we like our pride and joy, but is there anything you don't like?

For me it's the 'Infotainment' system.
Wheres the CD player? No Aux!

Sat nav and radio works well, but no CD = no music.
I don't know what Bluetooth is, and don't want a memory stick to use with the USB.

Sad thing is, the cheaper models got a CD player!

LOL.....(Please bear in mind I am someone who still plays LP's)...not very tech minded.

I've given up with CDs- an SD card holds an awful lot of music.

My trouble is, I don't like change. Old fashioned.
Started with LP's, switched to cassette, then mini disc, then CD.......I don't want to change again, lol.

Somebody suggested getting a 'bluetooth' transmitter, so I could play my mini disc portable in car.

Maybe.......

Once had a Citroen C3 with 'smart' wipers... the sort that sense when it's raining. Not even slightly smart, used to come on if a van touched a puddle in front. Another hate is clocks in cars. We have to reset them twice a year and if I need to get the manual out to remember how many buttons to press I think that is stupid. My Volvo C30 has a little knob and you turn it to adjust. It also has intermittent wipers with a stem control to adjust the interval... now that is SMART :)
Auto boxes aren't very clever either, they don't see hills coming or traffic lights, they are very low IQ really. Same with cruise controls...

moan over, for now

Remember when you could have air/heat coming out of holes on dashboard without having the heater on?
Came out with the force of the speed of car.

These days its air con, using battery power! Have to have it switched on.

You know that CDs are officially so rubbish that even the company that invented them (phillips) say they are rubbish!
Get with the times and get a usb stick. :P
CDs just skip when bumping around anyway

My 'clock' is displayed on my Android head unit and automatically adjusts for DST.
My 2000 model Vitara has adjustable delay for the intermittent wipe.
