    So last night, I took our dogs to the 'squirrel park', the parking lot at work surrounded by nut trees that hosts the dear little tree critters. The dogs love it and often set out to track the the squirrels who are safely asleep. But once back in the car, the podcast frequently was interrupted and I noticed the little 'white doggie' was sniffing at the right side of the screen. I'm not sure what is over there but dog breath was definitely interrupting the podcast. But we have a similar problem with our BMW i3-REx.

    There are a row of very sensitive buttons for pre-programmed functions. I've not used them but our beagle often presses them when she is sure there is some nefarious rodent, squirrel, rabbit, or rat, in the area that needs barking at. But the car responds as if someone is planning to program the buttons.

    I posting just to share with those suffering with those big displays that there are canine issues with the small display.

    Yūki ga aru,

    Maybe they just don't like your taste in podcasts.
