Designed in such a way you could reach over and feel what control you were on. The buttons had little notches. Note the three little dots on the mode switch, or the notches on the preset. Lovely stuff.
@ChinnyVision Far better than touch screens.
@ChinnyVision loved mine. Just spotted the removable face plate… I’d forgotten that was a thing / necessity
@davidoakley And the beeping when you turned the ignition off to remind you to remove it.
@ChinnyVision Oh, yes. So very yes. Part of me really wants to buy a 25 year old car just so I can install one of these again.
@ChinnyVision that is a thing of beauty. Car audio is poorer for manufacturers making it nigh on impossible to fit after market stereos.
