Hello all,
I am debating between a 2008 RX and a 2010. The 2010 has the remote touch control, which I am a little unsure about (I've heard people loving and hating it, generally). If I hate the nav interface with the remote touch, that's fine, I'll probably use my phone anyway. But after thinking about it, the only 'adjust-this-quick' item I could think of that would be important--while driving--was heating/cooling (assuming I'll be able to control music/voice from the steering wheel). From spending only about two hours perusing the regular and the nav/remote touch manuals (and then being confused by dealer photos), it seems like there *might* be some button controls to the AC (and heating?), even if you have the nav system. FYI, from the pics, the 2010 that I'm interested in does have nav/rear camera, but doesn't have the ML sound system.
So, current 'remote touch' users, what do you use it for, and what don't you use it for? [Maybe that's a separate thread?]

Are you talking about the 'voice command'?
The temp button is conveniently located and although the voice command is by flick of the thumb .. I find the temp button lot more convenient.

The nav feature is certainly not as good as a modern phone app, but to be honest, I much prefer the onboard nav for two reasons:
a) nice big screen
b) half the time I use it I'm not necessarily needing navigation, but just quickly looking at the map for a possible short cut in traffic, just seeing how the neighbouring streets connect. I can dial that up with one button press. The convenience of not having to mount and mess with my phone while driving is why I like the on-board nav, with all its obsolescence.
