2019 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider Display

The 2019 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider has a high-tech touchscreen screen that controls many of the car’s functions and entertainment features. This touchscreen interface, which is usually between 7 and 8.8 inches, makes it easy to access navigation, audio controls, smartphone integration (via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), and car settings. Its easy-to-use design lets you change settings and preferences, and in some models, voice commands let you handle it without using your hands.
