I wish they’d do this with car radios and most everything else.

And if I was the pope, I’d outlaw the color black for use on electronic and household applicances. Can’t see the labels.

Knobs. Physical switches. Buttons. Large.

A previous owner retrofitted a whiz-bang radio on my truck. I had to find the manual online just to figure out how to program the channels and find a preset station. I prefer an older model with button and knobs that are intuitive to use.

Being a controls engineer, I have programmed many HMIs (human-machine interface) and I try to keep the buttons and controls as simple and intuitive as possible.
