I believe that the problem was that Drakino and Tony didn't like the way Hijack did it:

I dislike the fact that if I cycle through the info modes in the car quickly to get to a visual one, on reboot in the car, it tends to go to the last text mode one touched, Now and Next I believe. I then have to browse the info modes again to get it back to my preferred text mode one, the main information page.

And it was suggested that it would work better if it just emulated a long bottom press instead of whatever it does now (I don't know what that is, as I don't use that feature).
