Yup, even the latest touch screen VAG stuff that I have is extremely shoddy. Nothing more than an MP3 playing file browser really. Even the random mode isn't really random and you end up hearing the same 10 tracks over and over. Not to mention the clumsy navigation that is pretty impossible to use while driving.

Sure, Bluetooth Audio works well if I wanted to use my phone for music. Is this where the future is going?

I dunno. I have briefly used a Mercedes system which didn't appear too bad on the first glance, same with some of the Audi stuff. Maybe they are getting the hang of it slowly?
