[QUOTE="Shootin4fun, post: 2408991, member: 28741"] Hilarious! Except not to your wife! i can easily identify with her frustration. I would probably have been cursing at the car. I have a Jeep with Uconnect...didn’t know I could have it call me. Darn thing didn’t even come with a hard copy of the manual....it’s all online in the cars display they told me. Great. Thanks for the alarm tip! I don’t know why the designers interpret that as a break in. If you’re inside, or outside, you need to get it out of remote start mode in any case. If I’m in control and out and about I never get out without a key or fob on me with the windows rolled up in case something fails and it decides to lock the doors. I’m an old tech guy, but I think consumer devices have gotten way too complicated for no good reason, and find poor user interfaces everywhere I go. So many mysterious or nonsensical interfaces, it’s totally lame. At one of my early high tech companies in the 80s where we invented the first computer graphics we literally had competitions on how few buttons and button presses it took to create to create certain graphical element. Had to be super efficient and super intuitive. Nowadays the designers seem like they must be on ketamine when they’re designing their interfaces. Look at Venmo as an example. It’s absurd. lol you got me started.... [/QUOTE]
