Maybe the installation and testing is tedious, but I have far more confidence in my 2008's physical radio buttons than an iPad glued to the dashboard. The only thing that's every gone wrong is the volume knob getting loose, and it's a minor annoyance which - crucially - doesn't affect any other functionality and could be easily replaced if I cared.
Best of all, I don't have to take my eyes off the road to use them. Touchscreen controls are, frankly, idiotic in my opinion.
- wtallis 3y agoCapacitive buttons aren't just on touchscreens. It is now very widespread for cars to use capacitive touch sensors behind static labels. They're reliable in a way that touchscreens aren't and at least have fixed locations and functions, but the lack of tactile feedback still makes them an abomination.
