when the OEM's finally realize that sliders and knobs work just fine (and better) than idiotic multi-page scrolling menus (with even worse submenus and different size buttons/themes in between) they'll finally be getting somewhere.
the current trend of UI design in car 'infomational' or whatever they're calling them is just bad, terribly bad.
still can't believe none of them haven't just put a blank space/dock in the dash for an ipad (ohhh, scream surface if you want, whatever) and called it a day.
guess that would be too easy, work to well, and be too simple for car manufacturers.
oh well, let's see if they learn anything in 2014
