Comment on Shocker. In Cars, Physical Buttons Are Easier Than Touchscreens

Comments

Direct tuning of stations is bad on just about anything I've used with a touchscreen. Even 'scan' is tedious.

My '17 Cayenne strikes a decent mix of buttons/touchscreen.

But more recent models have made it worse using 'haptic' controls (touchscreen smooth 'areas' of panels, instead of separated hard buttons). And they've got no physical surface indicators to let you find/use them without having to look down at the center console shifter area.
