I'll keep this quick. I hate when im listening to a station and want to quickly change or flip through multiple stations but when i go to use the knob on the right that is typically used for this, it just zooms in and out of the map. Stupid if you ask me.

sorry if this has been brought up already.

MyLink is a user interface mess overall. The fact that you can't turn the display completely off when the unit is not is use, should almost be a safety hazard considering how bright it is.

Not being able to move the nav map up or down easily using a knob or *touch-drag which is standard for most devices is a fail too.

Add in the frustratingly inconsistent iPhone5 bluetooth connectivity and not being able to start up using the source it ended with (Toyota can do this) and I'm not real happy with the MyLink system.

However, I LOVE my Camaro...

My NAV and DEST touch buttons to the right of the screen didn't even work when I picked my car up from the dealer after waiting 3 months for it to be delivered. The dealer had to replace the faceplate. Warranty work on the first day of ownership was a big disappointment, but even with only 600 miles on the car, I absolutely love it. I like that the app allows you to enter a destination and it sends it straight to the car so you don't have to type it in. Cool stuff.

This is what happens when OEMs try to do too much. Ford Sync was just as bad when it first came out, it's quite a bit better now.
