The Drivers Information Screen

The center, digital portion of the screen is about 7 inches as measured diagonally.  The Tach and Speedometer are analogue.  The steering wheel buttons that control the digital screen are well laid out and simple.  The are four arrows, an OK and Back button on the left side of the steering wheel.  The system operates with main menu icons showing up on the bottom of the screen, and you can access those just by clicking the left or right arrow buttons on the steering wheel.  While in any of the main menu icons, if there is more information available, the screen will show you a series of dots next to the display indicating that you can use the Up and Down arrows to access those pages.  The main menu icon categories are Home, Economy, Information, Media, Pro Pilot Assist, and Settings.  

Overall the system is laid out well, making it easy for drivers to locate the information they want displayed.

The Infotainment Screen

The screen itself measures 8 inches diagonally and includes multiple physical buttons for Power, Volume, Tune and Scroll, Sound Settings, Display On/Off, Skip Forwards and Backwards, Audio, Home/Menu, Camera, Phone, and fianally a physical Back button as well.

The system includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto - both are a wired connection via USB, AM, FM, and Sirius XM Radio (HD as well), Bluetooth, and Voice Command and is 4 G LTE Wifi HotSpot capable.

At the Home Screen, you have the ability to swipe and select any one of 3 Home screens that you can customize .   You can also customize the order and content of the Media Sources, so the most commonly used ones are first in the list, and the ones you do not use are not visible.

Overall a very good basic system, with the added functionality of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
