    My prior car had no fancy features, the nicest thing it could do was read MP3’s burned on to a CD, and hold 6 CDs in the player. I traded it in and got newer car, and I think it’s level of fanciness is just right for me. It has a screen, I ignore it most of the time, unless I plug my phone in to listen to music. Then I use the screen to get into Youtube Music and that’s it. Or the same situation as before, but I need to navigate with Google Maps.

    So by and large I can 100% ignore the screen, unless I plug in the phone. But all control of Next Track/Back, volume up/down is controlled by buttons on the steering wheel.

    The largest nightmare for me is tough sensitive controls FOR EVERYTHING! I’ve read that it’s becoming more and more common in new expensive cars, and I have not interested in that bullshit.
