vjaneczko Posted June 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 One more for the list, from my daughter: the radio screen. First, the presets - I have more than one "list" of FM presets - make them scroll up & down. Next, the DCS button (or whatever it's labeled) to scan for local stations and change the presets. It's right above the volume buttons and a bit too easy to hit by accident. Tuck it away under an options screen somewhere; no one needs that on the main radio screen. Next is the information display above the radio frequency display. The song & artist words are too small to easily read, yet I can see the frequency numbers quite well. It’s a bit out of balance.

outcastrc Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 One thing I would love to see is with the android version of appradio, they need to minimise the ICS soft keys (home, back, app switcher). There's a lot of screen real estate being wasted for no reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tls2000 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 That's not a problem on phones that have the physical buttons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vjaneczko Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 One thing I just stumbled across which needs fixing ASAP; I was using the map program to get directions. Suddenly a song came on that I didn't want to listen to so I jumped over the the CarMediaPlayer, hit the Next button and returned to the map. It looked like I had just started the program instead of it remembering that I had already set it up to give me directions. As I was sitting in rush hour traffic, it was a huge pain to get back to what I needed it to do. So, it would be very good to allow me to switch between apps without shutting them down (which is what I'm guessing happened to the app). That way, I can control my music without having to rekey in the street address to where I was driving. ... and Yes, I do have steering wheel buttons but the Volvo uses the CAN system and I haven't dropped the 200 bucks for the adapter...
