No touchscreen Nav in 2008? That is lame. The dial input is slow and painful !!

C'mon audi. You can get a touchscreen nav on a Nissan Altima for god's sake and it costs 25k less !!

Yeah! Let us get greasy fingerprint marks all over our in car monitors!

no smudging. no reaching for the screen. and it seems quite reponsive.

you need to calibrate the screen often otherwise it will not function properly over time.

After using touchscreen navis in Hondas and Acuras (which, I understand are moving away from touchscreens themselves?), it's much more intuitive and easier to enter addresses.

But, I can live with the dial since that's all they've got. It's a minor thing to me.

the one in our Honda Odyssey and the one in our in-law's TL had never needed recalibration.
