Adjusting mirrors and seats can go on the touch screen as you do that before the drive and I don't think those can stay at the factory.
Sometimes I have to readjust the mirrors during a trip depending on how I sit.
No thanks, mirrors and seats are too important for the touch screen and sometimes need to be adjusted while driving, as you adjust your sitting position.
And really, I don't want to spend an extra 10 seconds (if you know the car) or 2 minutes (if it's someone else's) to get the seat and mirrors adjusted beofre a drive. I want to get in the car, adjust things quickly, and go.
How are you people moving in your seat this much? I never had to adjust anything but the rear view mirror and that is manual anyway.
We share it with other people. I, personally, would just ban short people, but they do exist and they love to move the seat away from my sweet spot.
If I had to use the touchscreen to fix it every time, I'd just leave it in a ditch and set it on fire.
I've adjusted mine twice in the last month alone because I needed to fold down the rear seats. But also sometimes you borrow your car to someone who doesn't have a memory setting. Or your car doesn't have memory seats and has multiple users.
If I have to use a touchscreen to adjust my seat once a month, that's 11 times a year too much for me. Buttons? Fine. Levers and wheels like in old cars? Also fine.
Um yeah, you do that before you start driving. All the situations you mentioned don't necessitate adjusting the mirrors while you are driving.
Or are you one of those people who complain about distracted driving due to touch screens, but then drive off with completely maladjusted mirrors? Bro...
I don't even want to do that shit on a touchscreen when I'm stopped dude, it should take less than 5 seconds so I can get moving.
