A car infotainment system is packed with features, but the most useful one is often the simplest. What's a single, basic setting or shortcut you've configured that makes using the system much less distracting while driving?
I switch the system to distraction free mode and keep only maps and audio visible this keeps the screen from lighting up with every ping
I assign a single steering wheel button to toggle a do not disturb profile and answer calls hands free that keeps notifications from pulling my attention away

I turned on voice only mode so I can control volume next track and directions with speech and seldom touch the screen
I set the home screen to show only the map last played podcast and a simple car status indicator that keeps the rest hidden until I call it up
