Do you like dual LCD screens?

Some RLX reviewers said dual screens seem confusing to use?
Seems we are having more 2014 MDX owners here, I am wonder how MDX owner feel about the dual screens?

Thanks

Some people are confused by an indicator stalk so I guess 2 screens would be out of the question for them.

I don't love the idea of it but I'm sure it has its benefits. I would appreciate if they had manual controls separate for the heated/ventilated seats however. That's probably my main issue.

For me it was confusing at first. However, after an hour or two just sitting in the car figuring it all out it really not bad at all. I love it now but there is definitely a learning curve as with anything.

You are refering to the dual screens and not the indicator stalk aren't you?

The principle of these two screens are... the top one is the actual screen that conveys the "information", while the bottom screen is a replacement of all buttons.

The confusion is there are some moments when the bottom screen also shows some information. Especially, when the bottom screen shows XM radio or HDD music, it actually shows some information as well, but not the full information. You need to hit "Front Audio" so that the top screen shows the right information.

Also, there is a funny situation. When typing address in NAV, the top screen shows a wheel of alphabet that can be entered by the main knob, but at the same time, the bottom screen will show touch-screen keyboard

Definitely, there is a room to be improved and enhanced. But, overall it is okay. My only big complaint is it can't listen my accent while Google Now perfectly captures my voice command...

One minor bug: when playing HDD musics, there is no Pause/Stop button LOL.

When it comes to infotainment, still Model S is the king. Multi-touch is just awesome. When can we enjoy the same experience from our mobile devices on 50K+ vehicles??

I would too if the bitch did what she was told! Not only does using voice interrupt the audio but then I have to reset the radio from AM back to XM just because I told her to increase the fan speed.

Seems to work pretty well for me. You do know the bitch only understands English right?

Yes but I think that the bitch suffers from a North American phenomenon where she studied under the mandated "second language" program which invariably results in the subject not having a command of two languages instead of mastering one language correctly.
