The complexity of the screens is overstated. On an 1,800 mile drive, I mainly kept the bottom screen on climate. Would switch to turn on seat massage, and also to change the driving mode and turn off auto engine start/stop. There are also dedicated climate buttons at the bottom. The top screen I would have to move between radio (scanning for stations) and nav. Occasionally my finger would not hit something precise, but that's going to be true of any touch screen. I found the center dash display a big pain as there is so many menus and details, and seemingly no easy way to switch between the views.
totally agree with you bluescreen. touch screeens are not so complex. Some (old school) journalist(s) have been too dramatic on this matter. Yes the touch screens do offer a lot of possibilities one should not do while driving. But this is the driver's decision whether to change the music or to look at the road. same as when we were checking the radio station on former radio tuners...
It is a matter of getting things prepared a bit in advance (such as satnav, music, air temperature) before starting to drive. In addition, the more you use the system, the more you remember where to find things you are looking for. as with any new car really.
the more 'complex' screen is the big top screen as it is displaying both music and satnav. sometime while it is displaying spotify, I wish to come back on satnav quickly before I reach a junction. In this case It takes me 2 'cliks' (Home then satnav) to see the map again. But I will probably save time once I'll have set the steering wheels' shortcuts. and it' no big deal really.
personnally I have not had any screen nor dash board crash since I've had the Velar (3 weeks and only 500 Km).
and the 2 screens do give a stunning interior look to the car plus I find them easy to manipulate. just need to get into the stuff. remember how perplex you were when you had your first smartphone . same thing. just need some practise
