2014 Buick Regal GS IntelliLink Infotainment Review

Like the LaCrosse, the Regal and the Opel Insignia now uses a modified version of Cadillac's CUE. For reasons I don't understand however, Buick doesn't get Opel's interesting touchpad with "finger writing" recognition that Opel has been advertising across the pond. I'm guessing this is so that Buick doesn't step on Cadillac's toes. Versus CUE there are a few other changes for Buick-duty. The expensive glass capacitive touchscreen (looks like a modern smartphone) is swapped for a resistive unit that isn't as crisp or as glare reducing and we have physical buttons for some system features, a marked improvement over Cadillac's touchscreen only interface. Aside from these charges, the majority of CUE remains.
Like Ford's MyFord Touch system, IntelliLink is sluggish in general and sometimes totally unresponsive. The software also suffers from unintuitive menu layouts and old-school mapping software that doesn't jive with the system's high-resolution screen. Like CUE, some multi-touch gestures are supported, but the different touchscreen is less able to decipher your intent leading to some frustrating moments. On the bright side, CUE's selling points remain. The system's voice command system features natural language commands and instead of treating the USB ports as separate inputs, the system aggregates them into one large music library allowing you to voice command songs without specifying the device.

    Thanks for the detailed review. I saw in another review from a competing channel that the system is far faster now as the processing power was improved in 2016. Otherwise this older review agreed with it for the most part. Also, navigation now is done completely by satellite - no chip, DVD, or anything in the car.

    I thought this video was supposed to be about Buick Regal navigation, not the Cadillac Q system. Why confuse us with Cadillac information?

    I've never been a fan of touchscreens for one reason... I hate all the fingerprints that get all over it. I know you can clean them off, but it's just a pain in the you know what to have to clean it all the time using it every day like I would. Is there anyway to use the knob on the center console to go through and click the screen icons without having to put your finger on the screen? If so, can you use the knob for everything that you'd need to touch the screen for? I know there's voice command as well, so I was wondering if you could also go through everything you'd need to touch the screen for via voice command? Sorry for the questions. Thanks
