What are the best touchscreen control panels?

Oddly enough, when deciding to buy a new car, many of us are most often guided not by technical characteristics. The car has modern Smart home touchscreen control panel.

For many of us, the presence of a touchscreen control panel has an important influence on the purchase of a particular car.

A look into the future of in-car entertainment systems

Our online publication has studied the many touchscreen control panels currently offered by car manufacturers in order to identify the best ones. You can do it before moving on to the review of entertainment systems.

We would like to note that in our rating we did not include the Tesla S car with its 17-inch screen and excellent controls. The reason is simple. Few people can afford this car. This brand occupies a limited niche in the car market.

Nevertheless, we oblige to note the information system of the car, as Smart home touchscreen control panel works efficiently. Management carries out by the touch screen. The menu is easy to use. An Internet browser is built into the control system.

Ten Most Useful Automotive Technologies

True, at first glance at the Tesla screen, it is somewhat discouraging with the amount of various data, menus and submenus. But upon closer inspection, everything becomes clear and logical. It is a pity that the proprietary information system on Tesla cars is not available on most cars on the market.

Uconnect (Chrysler, Dodge, Maserati and Jeep)

Without a single doubt, this is the best touchscreen control panel in today's car market. The system screen has bright and clear visuals. The Smart home touchscreen control panel has a high-quality touch response. It provides convenient navigation program.

The system also allows you to create a Wi-Fi access point. New Jeep and Chrysler models also install a special application that links the car with your smartphone, with which you can lock and unlock the car's alarm, remotely start the engine. Also, this application allows you to listen to network radio on the car audio system using your phone and the Internet.

True, there is one minus. This is a screen resolution of 640 x 480, which does not allow fine details to display clearly enough. But against the background of an intuitive interface, fast data loading and tactile clarity of the touch screen, this seems like a trifle.

BMW I-Drive: Smart home touchscreen control panel

The I-Drive system appeared back in 2001. Unfortunately, the first versions were terrible and worked very poorly. But every year the system has been improved and refined. Now, 12 years later, we consider the touchscreen control panel to be one of the best on the market.

According to users and experts, this is exactly how an automotive information system should work. The main feature of this system is the ability to configure the screen for segment display. That is, together with the map of the navigation system, you can set the display of the news of your favorite media on the same screen.

The Smart home system is ergonomic and intuitive

The Smart home touchscreen control panel is conveniently located next to the shift knob. In the latest versions of the system, BMW has installed the new BMW ConnectedDrive integration, with which you can access your favorite social networks on the Internet and even access e-mail.

The screen has a resolution of 1280 × 480 pixels. The visuals are impressive. 3D maps feature smooth sliding animation. I-Drive looks like a premium system, like an Apple product.

Mercedes COMAND: the system works very well

It cannot boast of a beautiful artistic display of information on the screen, like other similar systems in our rating. But the system works very well and is easy to use.

This year, Mercedes has updated the Smart home touchscreen control panel system in the C-Class and S-Class with better animations and new graphics effects. We hope that ease of use will remain the same as in previous versions of the system.

New radio channel settings will allow you to customize your favorite radio channel in more detail to your taste.

Excellent 3D maps of the navigation system and a screen resolution of 800 × 480. The MMI system responds clearly and quickly, and therefore this system is in our rating. It won't take you long to get used to using the system. The new version of MMI has a touchpad that allows you to reply to e-mails.

Chevrolet MyLink (Chevrolet, Buick and GMC)

MyLink (also known as Interlink in some vehicles) is often somewhat slow to respond to touch on the Smart home touchscreen control panel.

This system offers ample opportunities for customization and connection of additional equipment. For example, if your car does not have a navigation system, then by installing the BRINGGO special application on your smartphone, you can connect your phone to the car's touchscreen control panel and display the navigation map from your phone on the car's screen.

True, it is worth noting that this feature is only available on economy class cars (for example, Spark, Sonic and TRAX).

In addition, the MyLink system, in addition to touch control, is expanded with several real buttons for quick and easy access to the most important functions of the car.

Infiniti InTouch: Smart home touchscreen control panel

Infiniti's new touchscreen control panel debuted on the Q50. At first glance, the two screens can be misleading. One screen is controlled by touching the LCD screen, the other display is controlled by conventional buttons.

Unfortunately, the touch display isn't as quick to respond to touch. Both screens have a high resolution, which makes the information displayed on them easy to read.

The only negative is the soil-ness of the screens (quickly dirty from the fingers). Therefore, the driver should always have a rag to wipe the screens.

Smart home touchscreen control panel allows you to connect the Internet to the system to use social media on the car screen. It is also possible to use a Google search. In addition, the car manufacturer has provided the ability to use your smartphone to diagnose the car and display fuel consumption, range, speedometer and other data on the phone screen.
