Default Motor Trend video review


Interesting but I think accurate take.
And really, you can't change radio stations while the car is moving? Someone please tell me that isn't true - who would sign off on something like that???

Car looks absolutely amazing. I read that you can change the station with the steering wheel or voice recognition

Radio? What's that. The radio in my McLaren never even worked.

That was an incredibly positive and well-produced video by Motor Trend. I give them props for changing their outlook on this car, and not judging it as a sports car but as a large luxury coupe ala SL or 6.

I'm sure beatsonic will have a radio lockout and DVD/nav lockout bypass available shortly for it, haha!

If you set your pre sets, you can change channels while driving... I still need to figure out all the electronics...

Steering wheel for presets or seek up/down, voice commands, the tune **** down by the track pad. And I'm sure you can click on them with the track pad while moving but he's on a winding road and trying to stare at the screen with no idea what he's doing. Hence the other methods available. To be fair, all reviewers seem to trash most cars' infotainment systems. When it's usually just a matter of learning how to use it. Especially something simple like changing a radio station.
