Welcome to Tech in the Car! My name is Oliver and this is the CUPRA Born in this video I'm going to
explain the infotainment system to you go through it step by step so you understand what everything
does i borrowed this car from saya and CUPRA here in Oxford so please give them a visit if
you're after one of these cars they're very kind to lend me this car and don't forget to check out
my full review of the cooper born as well which is an electric car which i really really love
but let's get on to the infotainment system in this car now we've got these widgets in
front of us so this takes us straight through the navigation straight through to the media
and i can swipe up between radio and then our media here and see our recent destinations
this will show me any phone calls i've made i can see our CUPRA drive modes as well see our air
conditioning and we've got our tutorial as well and i can go between the air conditioning like
this so i don't need to use these sliding buttons at the bottom here which not everybody likes i can
just do it like this but we've got our overview here we've got our apps button which takes you
through to your apps and you can see you've got navigation media telephone we've got android auto
or connected full link depending on whether your phone is connected or not stationary ac vehicle
driving data air conditioning sound users settings legal notice help and store so that's all of our
apps at the bottom of the screen here we have our navigation button our media button our phone
button android auto connected apps and then we can add items by pressing this button if i want to add
stationary ac i'll just do that and it will appear down here and now it's a permanent item on here
and if i tap and hold it i can then exit out and then it will go back so we've got that
option there to control that to the right you have your car icon which will take you to your
driver assistance and then you can go through and look at the driver profiles we can see our parking
assistance so if i go on parking assistance it says park distance control and i can turn it on
and off and i can see how it works we've got our smart assistants which is our lane assist and our
adapter cruise control settings all those kinds of things we can turn on the stability control
quickly there we've got all to hold on here lane assist adapter cruise control which if i tap on it
it will then show me what that is it will explain what adaptive diffuse control is and then it will
say respond to road layout respond to speed limit that will change at speed up and down
depending on the road that you're on which is very very clever we can go into our you know into our
lane assist settings here we can have it so the steering wheel vibrates and it will tell you again
what lane assist is so it's just very well designed if you ask me driver alerts will give you
alerts road sign display will show you will give you speed limit warnings as well your driver alert
system which will let you know if you're tired and your driving isn't as attentive as it could be
so very very easy to see drive profile we've got range comfort performance and individual
so on this car you can change between them with individual you can tap on that you can go into
configuration and you can do individual settings for steering between comfort performance engine
of course it's got motor so there's no engine the performance range and comfort adapter cruise
control comfort performance and range and then you've got your air conditioning we've got our
e-manager underneath that where you can see your charge you can set up routines based on
your position so it will automatically charge we can choose our background lighting now i love this
we can go between off cold which is i guess blue calm which is kind of a lighter blue active which
is a red wellness is kind of green warm is yellow individual which will let me adjust it
using all of these colors down here as you can see there and i can press that button to choose
individually what i want that to be so i can have that as yellow on the doors and the center as red
or i can have them both as red i can have it as purple and i can adjust the brightness as well on
all of them so i can have them all at maximum like that just tap on it and then i can increase it if
we go into navigation you can see the map the map is very easy to use you can zoom in you can
zoom out it's very responsive and you can search by points of interest or you can manually enter
your destination and then the navigation system will show you the range as well in a circle so you
can see how far the car can go and you can also search for charging points by charging type and
speed as well so it's a very easy to use system and then we go to our settings by the way as i'm
going through these menu options it's going very quickly i'm not feeling any lag here this is nice
and easy to use and then our general settings our exterior settings and it shows here diagram
come for light which is your lights how long they turn on when you're getting it out of the car
and then we've got our headlights with our light assist when you go around the corners
so it lights up the road and travel mode if you go to another country in europe it will
change the side of the light so it doesn't blind anyone coming towards you interior settings we
can adjust our head up display we can turn the augmented reality directions on and off we can
adjust the position we can adjust brightness we can change the color scheme from snow to standard
we can choose what content we want to show on there as well we can go into
instrument cluster settings so we can reset our mileage our long term our trip recorder
we can go to our interior lighting adjust the brightness which is also the same as the
ambient lightings and you can obviously go around like this and you can see your windows wipers
and mirrors do you want them to auto fold yes whether you wanted to do that press that
button to go back to the home screen that button lets us go back to the home screen
now on the climate so this is quite clever now we've got these
touch-sensitive buttons underneath or sliders i should say to adjust the volume in the middle
and the temperature on the sides but you can also do it at the top here because there are
buttons on the top here this will allow you to turn the heated seats on and off
this will allow you to turn them on in auto this is your air conditioning auto
or we can turn it off we'll have to go into the settings we've got eco here
and we can adjust the temperature like that i can go straight into my climate settings like that
and just turn it off so you don't need to use these buttons we've got quick settings
i can go to eye climate which is intelligent climate can warm my hands if my hands are cold
all my feet my feet are cold cool rapidly if it's hot cool my feet if they're hot get fresh
air in and defund the windows and we've got our air care climate so i'd point out that you do
not need to use these if you don't want to you can do it in the dark it's fine it will work
then at the top here we have these little widgets we've got our mode for privacy and you can adjust
whether it sends data to the app because you can set up the app on this car we've got auto
hold bluetooth and hotspot on our navigation announcements as well and i can swipe to the
side here and i can see notifications and i can delete my notifications or leave them as they are
if we go back to our main apps menu here again we can go into our driving data so we can see how far
we've driven what our average efficiency is long term since charging we can see the status of the
car is a tire pressure okay everything's okay yep no problems there so that's nice and easy to use
as well so with sound we can adjust how we want it to sound we want some bassy like a club like
it's authentic like it's the radio and where do we want the sound at the front at the rear
so we can adjust all of that as well tap it again and it goes back to the overview here
and then users lets you add users as well so you can add a user or change a user and
again if i press the home button takes back to the widgets and then it takes us back to the app menu
and then we've got our store which will allow you to do things like download and activate features
if they are available on your car if it doesn't already have those features available let's look
at android auto i can tap on it and it will take me straight to my maps if i want to go into my
maps and see where i am and of course i can change it so we've got our satellite view which looks
a lot cooler when you're in the middle of the countryside and i can of course move it around and
it's very fast and very responsive no issues there i can go into my music i can go through my apps
everything exactly as you would expect on android auto and obviously i can use google as well
to give directions and ask it to take me places so we've got that flexibility
with apple carplay will work exactly the same way looking at the digital drivers display it's very
basic you can see your speed you can see your drive assistant settings whether it's on or off
and you can also see other information like your navigation you can swipe using the touch sensitive
buttons on the wheel i hope you enjoyed and found it useful to learn a bit about how the cooper
