I have a 2024 Kia EV6, and this is pretty much what it does: Central screen displays CarPlay, backup camera, and infrequently-used settings controls, dials and knobs for most things, one secondary touchbar (row of buttons, but it’s really a touchscreen so the buttons can change) for climate controls. Pretty much perfect, although only wired CarPlay. (The 2025 models apparently have wireless.)

Climate controls, including in-seat heating, as well as radio/media is exactly the stuff that needs actual hardware knobs that are always in exactly the same place and that I can use by knowing where in 3D space they are by muscle memory and feel without looking.

We have an EV9, and the user interface is so pathologically bad that we’re planning to get rid of it.

Everything makes it beep. Beeps for “you will die now” are similar to “you put me in gear”.

There’s one exception: For many reasons, it turns off one-pedal driving. When it does that and is unexpectedly accelerating into cross traffic, it does not beep (until the collision alarm sounds, presumably, ask me if it kills me…)

You can get tiny USB dongles that convert wired CarPlay to wireless. I bought one and adore it! https://www.geekbuying.com/item/AB019B-Wireless-CarPlay-Adap...

Hyundai is actual buttons, not touch.
