One of my cars has the hvac controls on the screen and it’s usually fine, because it is actually smart. I only need to set the temperature and it remembers that.
For example now that it’s getting cold, I almost never need to touch those controls
I can preheat through an app (no subscription needed)
when I start my car, the thermostat is set to 69 (heh heh) where I last left it
the car goes through a progression: heating steering wheel and seat first, then automatically off when the cabin temperature comes up
the glaring problem is defroster. Aside from initial heat up I don’t know a good way to switch to that while driving. I don’t know if it’s supposed to be automatic and fails or if there is a shortcut somewhere
Let me play devils advocate……
