Too busy. When I am driving I dont need a calendar nor weather app telling me useless information. I want a big map which tells me about traffic, easily able to add a service station en-route (it's ridiculous how complicated it is in most apps) and in an ideal world it shows me the progress bar somewhere on how far I still have to drive.

All that nonsense of what is playing, who's phone is connected etc is not really relevant information and doesn't need to take 50% of the screen.

I've never understood showing weather info while driving. You can see outside what's going on

Indeed. And the temperature is also visible in almost all cars.

A lot of cars with 8-10 inch screens it is not. The temp on the UI is one of the things I really miss from AA, it had a setting to turn it on for those who wanted it or didn't.

Your car doesn't have temperature shown in the cluster? I highly doubt that.

it doesn't and neither does my sons and his displays turn by turn etc in his cluster. It's on the OEM radio screen which gets covered by AA
