Yep that works. Just seems Hyundai didn't learn from Honda's mistake, they got ripped for this same thing. I guess this is the price you pay for "hi-tech" touchscreens controlling everything.
Agree this what most people would be more comfortable with.
I can deal with it, but the gauges with the sunscreen are really budget looking. I might still end up getting it as the Blue trim of the Tucson is the one I like the best overall, but they really cheaped out on the base gauges IMO.
For some reason traditional gauge clusters appeal to me. I recall a base Tucson video that showed lighting on the far edges of the speedo and tach that indicates the different drive settings, but the flat screen changes the whole gauge cluster look. One feature that did stand out for me on the flat screen is the tach turning into a blind spot camera when you turn the blinker on. That's slick!
On the Tucson its only on the limited with the surround view monitoring system. We know the SC will have that option as you could see the cameras on their preproduction model, but it may only be on the highest possible trim $$$.
this is one of greatest features in the car industry right now. Honda came out with it first (called Lane Watch) but Hyundai has perfected it. For some reason (likely cost) Honda is actually dropping it on newer models just as other manufactures are adding more parking or lane assist type camera systems.Star button is a saved function, user definable, only 3 or 4 choices. Wife chose it to be a screen off button. If she presses it her screen goes to a single analog clock in the middle of the screen and nothing else. Her choice.Nobody has commented on the lack of physical knobs and buttons yet?
This setup is sleek and modern, very Telsa-like with a large, flat panel... but I wish they had kept a volume knob and some real buttons for the HVAC system. I wonder if the smaller 8" screen has real buttons below it.
Curious what the star button does. The steering wheel has the same button. I am guessing some kind of favorite or short cut so it will quickly brings up a certain menu you use all the time.
WOW! I learned something new once again. I was wondering if I could simply turn off the entire center console. IMHO it's really bright at night. I don't use it at all while driving on my knobbed and buttoned SEL, unless I want to switch the XM channel.
It's in the setup settings. The steering wheel star button can do a different function than the radio star button. So you can have two different choices if you want.
You can. Just have to hit the menu button at the top (to the right of the home icon, if memory serves me, and tap display off. I used it last weekend at the drive-in to turn it off during the movie. Took me a while to realize there were more menu options tucked away in that top bar.
Is there a way to turn off the dash display?
