The main screen for all of the cars functions is impossible to work with. That is the ONLY thing that needs to be changed. The car is bullet proof and I'd buy another one in a heart beat. It just irritates the be-jesus out of me. Whenever the time change happens, I have to drop into the dealership to have them reset.
