The Most Frustrating Infotainment Systems
Thunderbolt Electronics will now tell you according to Consumer Report the more thwarted systems.
- 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.

Streaming Media Player Winner
The Roku 3 remains Consumer Report's top pick for most people looking for a media streamer, mainly on the basis of its unrivaled assortment of content. It is also fast and easy to use once you've set it up. Though Apple TV is starting to feel a bit dated, at $70 it is now $30 cheaper than it was a year ago, and is pretty much a no-brainer for those already living in Apple's world. Amazon Fire TV has continued to enlarge its content, in which are worthwhile features that make it a great choice, especially for parents and gamers. Having free access to Amazon Prime music is a bonus.
There are a number of stick-style streaming media players that plug into a TV's HDMI port. Here are a few Amazon Fire TV Stick, Google Chromecast, and the Roku Streaming Stick.

Streaming Media Review 4
ROKU 3 (2nd gen)
With its winning combination of solid performance, loads of content, and a pretty wide range of prices, Roku media players are among the most popular streaming choices.
This spring, Roku revamped the Roku 3 player (though it didn't change the name), adding a few new features, including voice search and "Roku Feed," which lets you track content you're interested in and get automatic pricing and availability updates. For example, the "Movies Coming Soon" section lets you track hit theatrical releases and then get alerts when they hit streaming services, along with info about how much they cost on each service.
Roku still has the most content of any tested player, including streaming movies and TV shows from Amazon, Blockbuster, HBO Go, Hulu, M-Go, Netflix, and Vudu. Like other Roku models, the Roku 3 has limited screen mirroring and casting capability, letting you cast Netflix and YouTube directly from a compatible phone or tablet to your TV. This year the Roku 3 is the only Roku model with a headphone jack on the remote, so you can plug into the remote for private listening.
Tomorrow Thunderbolt Electronics will tell you who the Winner of the Streaming Media Review is.
