I have to say, I have been pleasantly surprised how good it all is...even the speed. I had seen lots of complaining but I think its great. My nav reference comes from living with Garmin and Honda/Acura systems. Other than not being able to enter a destination while driving I find it excellent.

The climate section I like way better than in the Audi A8 which has a mix of hard and software controls for seat heaters etc.

One thing I have wondered/missed is where do you see engine vital stats like oil temp, coolant, etc etc.?

 

I have to say you are the first I've heard call it "excellent." It is by far the thing I hate most about the car.

 

It functions well, but it has become outdated compared to other systems. It works and it's fine. Nothing about this car I hate except the nav not letting me program while moving, and the Bluetooth that disconnects when you restart the car....annoying when getting full service gas.

 

You need to move out of that high tax state.

 

Really, the system was already outdated when it hit the XF hit the market. Now it's woefully outdated. I use the nav on my phone more often than the car's

 

Tough audience! :-) From what I have seen....just not as bad as people make it out to be but I suppose subjective.
