Soldato
They got burnt in 2008, not wanting to get caught out again they saw the sniff of a recession they cancelled all their orders and now they they are getting burnt because they over reacted and can’t get the parts.
Yep, mass cancellations or semiconductor orders which got snapped up by others in different industries, now they are at the back of the queue. That and the the legacy car market is about as agile as 114 year old with a zimmer frame.
When you look at the some of the Dacia's etc. that only have a phone/tablet holdrt and no infotainment, maybe that is the better option whack in a the latest iPad, or Galaxy S8 Tab etc. since they are better than 99% of the systems built into cars, don't cost anywhere near as much and can be easily swapped out. All they need are speakers and a Bluetooth module fitted. The all the maker need to source are the button, knobs and switches they love so much.
