Agree completely - JD Powers - "With smartphone apps increasingly giving owners an alternative, some will give up on the vehicle’s built-in systems that caused that initial frustration. That’s problematic for automakers, as a lot of the vehicle’s value is tied up in these systems and they don’t want to hand this business over to third parties.”

Or, once you figure it out it is a non problem (I think I am far better than the average person). Either way you aren't stranded on the side of road and this "problem" it isn't a reason I wouldn't buy it.
