Don't get me wrong I love my Journey, but this stuff is annoying.
OK, who programmed my 2011 Crew? I find the EVIC display OK but why oh why did they use that stupid Menu method of programming. My 07 Nitro you could just arrow up or down through the options, if one required more options you hit another button to access those options. It takes me 3 ( count 'em) 3 button presses to get from one option to the next.. Say you wanted to go to the Trip info from Speed info 1st you have to hit the "Back" button 2nd you have to hit the Arrow up or down to get to the next option, 3rd you have to hit the "right arrow" button to access that option. What an amazing step backwards with their programming..... Give me the programming from my '07 Nitro any day. Recently I rented a Chevy Cruse on a business trip, just hit those up down arrow keys to see the next display, NO back button not "enter" (right arrow) key. Quick and easy.
Next is there a way to have the doors auto-lock when you leave the car. I keep forgetting to lock my car because I don't need to take the FOB out of my pocket to unlock and start the car. I would think there should be a setting to have the car auto-lock when is senses that the FOB has left the car. This should be an option just like the programming weather 1 door or all doors unlock when you hit the unlock button.
I know all I need to do is hit the lock button on my way out of the car, but I haven't learned that habit yet. Guess I the convenience of the doors unlocking when I grab the handle has me spoiled, I want it to lock also without me having to think about it. Passive entrance is great, now I want my Passive exit also.
If there is a way to set the car to lock automatically when you walk away, I hope someone can explain to me how to do it.
Call me spoiled
