MFD is useless... discuss..

[H8T WP]

as it stands, the only good feature is the phone ...

all that other crap seems rather useless.. like having to press the ok button whilst driving for it to log your current speed among other seemingly useless modes...

agree? know exactly how to use the other menus?

please enlighten me..

ohh yeah the petrol reminder is a good one though

i use the temp one hour one and fuel consumption

ive just spent loads of money upgrading to an MFD, so yes, I do think its worth it.

With my sat-nav, I have the directions and street names displayed on the screen, as well as track names/radio stations.

You can also change other settings, which is handy.

No sat nav for me.. so i still have found no use for it other than the time and others i mentioned above...

how about telling you when someone hasnt closed one of the doors or the boot properly...?

Yep, or when the washer fluid is low, or a low tyre pressure, or an engine fault or a dpf clean required... the list goes on.

 

[owen lcr]

disagree
i find it very useful for all of the above especially the outside temp to warn you when it may be icy

I know .. i wasnt knocking all the WARNING messages, im talking about normal driving conditions...

 

[craigomills]

is there a list anywhere of all the things it can do?

 

[ZBOYD]

Depends on your car spec, i presume. But i find it useful to be able set all the convenience modes, like auto lights on, coming and going features.

At the end of the day, it does a lot of functions that are useful, but it won't let you play Tetris while your cruising at 70mph.

What other features would you expect it to do. I tend to want to concentrate on driving my car than fiddling with buttons anyway. It does everything i would like it to do, and the phone system is brilliant.

its often the case that things that seem to good to be true rarely are.
