Of note is that touch controls wont work when in motion, must be at a stop. In motion will require use of the wheel

 

Not true for 12.3" display with touchscreen capability, you have to check the box in the menu.

 

I have the touchscreen but use the controller with Carplay.

 

Don't know if this is of any consolation to you, but we do have the 12.3 touchscreen for CarPlay, but once i got used to the dial selector, I found it more convenient than leaning over and aiming my finger for a spot on the screen. Of course, these types of things really vary by person and so your level of satisfaction may not be the same

 

Yes, I’m getting used to the controller very quickly. The screen is a bit of a reach.

 

Bummer. I was misinformed by a sales guy.

 

If you have a 3.3L Standard Turbo w/ Premium pkg, then you would not have 12.3" center display, nor touchscreen.

 

Thanks for help above …. another quick question if I could. I test drove a couple CX 90s prior to buying and was impressed by the smoothness of the I stop compared to a few other brands I had driven. I still don’t like it, but … my car is so smooth I don’t even think it’s working. So full stop, brake fully depressed, and I still have RPMs and I can’t really hear or feel the engine engage when I start moving. And this is with no AC running as well.

Maybe a blessing in disguise. Ha.
