Originally posted by MossyRocks I hate those things in the Infotainment system. What I want is a good radio that gets AM, FM, HD, and weather band that also has USB or Aux in that has real physical buttons or knobs. This is actually surprisingly hard to find with lots not getting HD and weather band.
I want more than buttons and knobs. I want knobs that have a sharp-edge ridge around the outside, the way even the dials on a kitchen or living room radio once had. That way I can tell exactly where the heat, defroster, etc. are set by touch -
without taking my eyes off the road!! That's why the touch-screen Cadillac controls were, IMHO, a criminally irresponsible design. To set anything, radio station, volume, heat or AC temp, rear-window defroster, fan speed, etc. you absolutely had to take your eyes off the road, sometimes for a prolonged time just to figure out where to tap the screen to activate the control you wanted to adjust. Tech-fixated people who could not envision how dangerous it was to use such touch-screen controls while navigating a curve-filled high-speed road during commuter rush-hour.
