The Most Frustrating Infotainment Systems

Thunderbolt Electronics will now tell you according to Consumer Report the more thwarted systems.

Audi A3

For some reason, Audi thinks you need three ways to manually change the radio station, and none of them are simple. You can choose among:

• Rotating the central controller (MMI) wheel and clicking on the station you see on the screen.
• Clicking the left side of the steering wheel controls when in "radio" mode, which gives the station name/frequency in the driver's instrument panel.
• Programming the "*" button on the right side of the steering wheel to change stations. (This button can also be programmed to switch among audio sources, say, from your phone's playlist to satellite radio.)

Perhaps Audi lets you do this because the A3 doesn't have a traditional radio faceplate with hard buttons right in front of you. Even the single CD player is hidden away in the glove box.
