CX5 touchscreen
Aloha,
New CX5 owner here with a 2023 Premium. I just read that for 2024 they will be making touchscreen available for Apple CP/AA. I'm more than happy with the wheel and don't find it annoying at all, especially coming out of a 2012 Subaru XV Crosstrek. But it would be kind of cool to have that functionality when navigating certain Car Play features. Does anyone know if this is a hardware thing or software? Would there be the ability for an OTA upgrade to allow for touchscreen in Car Play or would that require an entirely new head unit? Not a very tech oriented person... my talents lie elsewhere.
Mahalo!

I would expect it to be both hardware and software. The screen will have to be built with a touch sensitive screen and have updated software that registers it. Personally I don't like touchscreens especially after what happened with them in the previous Mazda Infotainment screen that had ghost touch issues.

The fact that the 2024 CX-5 will have a touchscreen and iStop made me very very glad I purchased the 2023 CX-5 in Premium Plus trim. I could not have waited anyhow as my 2016 Hyundai developed oil fried engine syndrome and was unusable after 120,046 miles.

Probably to artificially boost the fuel economy numbers and make the car seem more "premium". I hate stop/start on cars with a passion...
