I think older BMWs (with only iDrive and no touchscreen) and current Mazdas have the most ergonomic and easy to use head unit setup. Since there is no touchscreen the headunit is just below the windscreen (easy to glance at while keeping road in peripheral vision). The knob has 6 inputs (4-axis tilt and rotation) and you get additional buttons around the knob. The knob also works in carplay (rotation changes focus, tilt does stuff like moving the map) and I bet after a few hours you'd be faster and more accurate than on a touchscreen with that. The only thing I always wish for is to get CarPlay navigation into the OEM HUD/instrument screen. > on a nice snappy capacitive display UI. Heh, until very recently a lot of manufacturers' infotainment was comically unresponsive, VW being a standout there (along with the worst-in-class screens). I wouldnt be opposed to have an option of touchscreen control (current BMWs have that), except that touchscreens are neccesarily placed so low that you have to take your eyes almost fully off the road.
