Customers and critics alike have raked VW over the coals for its "frustrating" interiors.

    Because then they don’t have a display the size of a living room TV to shove ads in your face

            The conversation was about locking in the owners to their expensive proprietary pumps as a reason for switching to this new style, and I was asking if lock-in was actually a new thing or not. Otherwise the comment doesn’t really make a lot of sense in context.

      Reminder to try and press any of the buttons on the side of the screen to mute if possible. 2nd right or bottom right works on all the pumps around me but I dread the day we get touch only
