Ah, if only car hardware was modular and standardized... And if you had access to your infotainment system beyond touching the pretty buttons...
Imagine something as outlandish as user serviceable infotainment systems. Like they used to have in the old days. I'm hanging on by a thread to my basic 2014 car which still has a double DIN slot I can put my own system into...some day
Are these buttons in a room with us right now
Give me my buttons back
I'm lucky enough to never have owned a car without buttons - My newest car was a '19 Benz and they LUCKILY were pretty slow about hopping onto the touchscreen bandwagon
However, in my comment I meant on-screen buttons anyway, as that seems to be the norm nowadays :(
Hopefully that'll change, iirc the EU discussed about requiring physical buttons for the highest safety rating a few months ago. Idk how that turned out but if it passed there's hope
I love it when politicians in a democracy are doing things for the people.
