European crash tester says carmakers must bring back physical controls
In 2026, Euro NCAP points will be deducted if some controls aren't physical.

As someone who relies on GPS, a doordasher I kinda think it should be only for multi media and maps. AC and other controls should be nobs. Also steering wheel controls
Maps make sense but having play controls for music as physical buttons is amazing. I have both a touch screen and physical volume/next/prev and I use the physical ones all the time. I actually like the sync system in my Focus other than the fact that when you start the car it tries to “resume” the first thing it can find and blasts loud AM static 75% of the time when I start the car. The controls are good though.
My rented Chevy Bolt does this. It will start playing whatever it can find, even if the last moment when the car was turned off, I had nothing playing.
It’s such a minor thing but fuck it’s annoying.
I think I'd rather use a phone with bluetooth. Radio is pretty dead these days IMO. Are you syncing with bluetooth buttons or is it radio? Bluetooth control would be pretty rad. What kind of car do you have?
I have never listened to the radio in my car by choice. My phone is plugged in (currently Apple CarPlay but I used Android Auto with my last phone) but for simple play controls the buttons on the dash or steering wheel are still superior.
Right on. I have to do an aftermarket BT solution due to age of my car
They can fuck that up too. My wife's genesis is up for back and down for next...what?
This is what I have in my honda civic, it's perfect.
