Does MB even have a touchscreen in any of their models?I was bummed to hear the screen is *not* a touchscreen. Figured I'd pass the info along.
Anyone else bummed by this?
I've never owned a MB before, so Im not sure if other models are. Its just the way they have it mounted would lead one to believe its touch screen (in my opinion). Maybe its because it looks like a portable GPS unit and thats why I had assumed it was touch screen. Thats cool if it will mirror an iDevices home screen, I had never heard of that.Does MB even have a touchscreen in any of their models?
As long as the screen glare-resistant & not buggy/boggy, I'm cool. I guess I'll be more bummed if I somehow-someway can't get my iPhone to "mirror" onto the screen (the homescreen of the i-device displays on the LCD).
So you don't have to stare at a small phone-screen. Perhaps the best application of mirroring one's smart-phone onto a large(r) LCD is ability to view a map (namely sat-nav). Reading SMS/MMS, email, docs, and the like. Viewing visual voice-mail, etc. And an occasional game of Angry Birds...If it isn't touch screen, what would be the point of mirroring the iPhone screen anyway?
Hmmmm...thats on my Cons list in regards to purchasing a CLA! :crazy:No touching while driving... :cool2::cool2:
Hahaha right!Hmmmm...thats on my Cons list in regards to purchasing a CLA! :crazy:
I see what you mean, but what I was getting at is that it didn't necessarily have to be a mirror of the iPhone screen as long as it translates the data from phone to screen. If MB has their own way of displaying my music collection designed for a non touch screen it would still work with my phone. For the nav I agree with you though, especially if they're asking too much for the built in navigation.So you don't have to stare at a small phone-screen.

Too funny, as I too can relate! Common sense sez Honda/Acura (they really have a great line'up at the moment), but mojo sez Fatherland, ja!Haha! I just cannot do another Honda. I have had too many.. No more practical guy!
I heard that as well...Wasn't there some manufacturer recently that said they won't do a touch screen because they feel it's too dangerous to drive and touch at the same time? I thought at read that somewhere. They sort of have a point.
Makes sense, but cell phones should be banned while driving nationwide before touchscreens not being put to use.Wasn't there some manufacturer recently that said they won't do a touch screen because they feel it's too dangerous to drive and touch at the same time?

Thats highly debatable...I really didn't use the "touch" feature too much ... Touching while driving does distract me a little bit because it involves some hand-eye coordination.
