While driving the low-mounted touchscreen went black. Pulling over and restarting the engine did not help. The high-mounted touchscreen froze.

While troubleshooting I remembered I inserted an USB stick to upload the music content, removing the USB stick and restarting the engine again solved the problem.

Clearly the software/firmware stumbled over the upload action (while driving).

I have a feeling this is something many of us will be experiencing from time to time. How do you find the responsiveness of the system during normal operation?

 

[mth75]

The lower is ok ... the one above, not so good.

Is is slow to respond?

 

[mth75]

Yes. Also slow, (very slow and actually the worst), are the steering control pads.

OK that's not good, had the same issue on the Fpace system when new, upgrades have improved this on the Fpace, I was of the understanding that the system on the Velar was Panasonic and not the same as the Fpace system which does not sound correct as it sounds like the Fpace issue when new is on the Velar.

The touch screen lag is real bummer.

The touch screen lag is real bummer.

Well, i'm hopeful that updates will solve some lagging issues. The real bummer is the very slow touch steering wheel controls, frankly, they are not that usable while driving at least. But, impressions can be different between persons.

thats all surprising as all the reviews said how quick the touch screen was to use and that it isn't laggy

 

[KRG]

I'm confused by the unresponsive steering wheel controls. From videos I've seen, these are actually buttons that physically move, not simply software buttons like on the center stack. Not sure why they'd be problematic.

It does have a good amount of memory. It shouldn't be laggy..at least not because of hardware limitations. I'm sure the software will catch up over time.

The response from the Dash TFT is slow, very slow.

mth75 - get it checked out - had none of these issues on the demo I had for a day - very response and so was the steering controls?

Ok, good to know!

 

[KRG]

Yeah, that's definitely not right. All my cars have had instantaneous response from steering wheel controls and I'd expect no less in this car.

I'll try the demo car tomorrow and see if this has a similar issue.

I hope your right but coming from a JLR Fpace I know how the issues on the Fpace have been since my ownership of over 12 months so I would not be surprised.

 

[JKVelarF1]

OK had my demo and pleased to say I had no issues, the top touch screen was responsive and the steering wheel control worked without issue, even the spinning your finger in a clock wise or anti-clock wise direction to decrease and increase the sound on the steering wheel worked without issue.

 

[VelarMan]

I confirmed on my thread too that absolutely no speed or freezing issues on my car
