Weird gesture control issue

So I’ve noticed with gesture control it absolutely will not work regardless of where my hand is or how slow/fast I go. Then, I’m in my car with gloves on one day and try it and it works perfectly! Take the gloves off, stops working. Put them back on, works fine. Any ideas?!

What color is your skin? What color is your interior? What color is the gloves you put on.

I have no idea why I'm asking any of this

I actually have really large hands. Interior is KO extended. Skin is white but lots of tattoos. Such a weird issue. I actually want to call genius to see what they say

When I wore driving gloves it did not distinguish gestures.

I turned off gesture controls. Between the physical controls on the steering wheel and voice controls, I no longer see the value in gesture control.

It's a gimmick. When you accidentally select 'next track' in your audio book... you'll stop using it too.

It’s definitely not necessary, I agree. I honestly just am curious as to what’s going on. If I never use it again it’s no sweat off my back, I just want to know for curiosity’s sake.

It's interesting why it doesn't work, for you. I've completely deactivated mine, because I could even reach for a drink in the cup holder, without the radio going to mute.

Then, I'm sitting at traffic light, waving my hands around, like I'm casting a fucking spell on something in my center console, to get the radio to come on, when I finally give up, and just hit the VOL button to turn everything back on. It's such a pain in the ass.

Interesting point about the cup holder. I have a USB plugged into that port there. I’m going to try and unplug it and use gesture control once I’m back home again. Maybe it’s interfering some how with the sensor.
