Why are knobs so rare now? I want my knob
Anonymous No.28672019 [Report] >>28672039 >>28680071
Chinks and Arabs love their unusable touchshit. To them, it's futuristic. Luxurious even. Practicality is outdated.
They have very low standards when it comes to actually driving cars, so the obvious compromises do not matter.

Still rockin my Sony XAV AX100 from 10 years ago because it has a nice clicky volume knob. My car is old and too bumpy to be able to navigate touch screen volume while in motion. And volume up/down buttons are gay.

knobs are coming back in style, but they were rare from 2019 to 2023 because tesla made only having a touchscreen seem futuristic and since you were going to have a screen anyway, removing everything but it saved on manufacturing costs.

I want a double din unit that can do android auto / car play AND has a physical volume knob. Other than the 10 year old Sony what are my options?

Any of those chinkshit android head units designed to fit specific cars will work just fine. 8 core and at least 4gb ram are what you should look for. Wireless carplay/android auto works just fine and connects automatically, the one I got is even supposedly running Android 15 and came with it's own GPS so I don't need to actually rely on a phone.

Cheap weight saving mandates that all knobs have the thinnest possible plastic D shafts from the loosest tolerance factory and are therefore wobbly and prone to breakage, decreasing brand image.

Android Auto means you have to carry around a phone. If you can run the applications you need on the head unit, then you can leave your phone at home.

Having both everything in the screen AND physical buttons is the superior design choice car manufacturers should choose because is redundant. Knob broke? Just use the touch screen until you fix it. Touch screen broke? Doesn't matter, just use the buttons.

It's just like the superiority of having a plug in hybrid. Some ICE component broke? Just drive in 100% electric mode until you fix it.

i hate my unit so much its fucking unreal and would literally just prefer an aux port and a volume knob. in general ive come to just hate my dashboard.

>screen pushes air vent behind the steering wheel, so i cant mount my phone on the vent, even still, the fins are fucking vertical
>cant mount it on the shelf where the top screen is because it slopes downwards towards the front and is too far away to interact with comfortably

>dont want to put it on the windshield in case some faggot cop tries hitting me with an obstructed windshield charge
and a story i guess
>got a ticket for using my phone while driving while changing a song
>fuck it, realize i have a shit ton of flash drives around the house
>figure id be nice to load them up with higher quality music, audiobooks and whatnot that would eat up too much space on my phone
>plug it in, the ui is absolutely fucking disastrous and obnoxiously slow
>screen is unresponsive for anything more than a simple tap and would be put to shame by 2010 chink iphone copies
>after selecting a song you cant go back to albums or artists but you must exit entirely to get dumped into the a-z song list
>have to tap artist, again, scroll down hoping it registers your input, select album, then song
its literally safer for me to use my phone while driving than attempting to use this piece of shit because at least with it being responsive, i can get 95% of the way to where i want to be without looking at the screen from muscle memory. i rarely actually interact with my phone while driving and have since made it even less with an mp3 player, aux, and a couple of sd cards, but holy fuck ive never had a car that the radio/dash feels so antagonistic towards the diver.

the 10 year old Sony is the only option because it was released at the right time; only a few weeks later Jewgle set a minimum of 6.4" screen size for Android Auto to work and that simply doesn't fit in a 2DIN unit with knob
your only options are going chink (which sucks because of thousands of software bugs and shit audio hardware) or using an external knob which has it's own drawbacks

until they get a dedicated mute button, they will always be inferior to a single knob that does the job of three buttons, and even then. I'm impressed bmw still had knobs and hvac buttons in 2020
