 As if cell phones and drinking coffee weren't enough to distract drivers.   I just know that the people who will buy this will be the people who drive across the 401 in rush hour in a totally distracted/half asleep/ disinterested way.

But I suppose it DOES suck up all the spare computer power available in the car... although I can imagine losing 10 bhp every time a new entertainment button is pushed  Wink

It is a narrow policy to suppose that this country or that is to be marked out as the eternal ally or the perpetual enemy of England. We have no eternal allies, and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and those interests it is our duty to follow.

Don't most of these things lock out any usage when the car is in motion?

Car manufacturers should be covering themselves.

Otherwise, I agree. Although this might be one step above fiddling with an iPod.

Thanks a lot, Chrysler. It's not bad enough I have to steer clear of iDrive BMWs, now I have MyGig distraction to worry about.  Evil

In car entertainment means out of car chaos.
