I personally think that they are very dangerous as can distract the driver from viewing the road.
I have only seen the one installed in a friends 5 year old Audi and I though NOT FOR ME.
It appears that some new BMW and Mercedes are going a way further and only by using the touchscreen can you “ control “ the car MAD.
I have used a Sat Nav a stand alone model for years when abroad, it’s a 5” model and found that it could be a distraction sometimes.
However I travelled the same routes to the South of France I knew the way ( sort of memorised them ) having used the good old maps before Sat Nav’s.
Anyway I shall never have a car with anything more that a simple touchscreen, my 2012 Sorento should see my driving days out.
