That's my gripe with most of today's aftermarket car stereos, too many "features" with a poor and confusing user interface. My Kenwood head unit is unbelievably confusing and difficult to operate, and that's with me having a very high tech electronic and high-end computer background. I have to keep the owner's manual in the glove box to refer to, I have a hell of a time figuring it out if I haven't used it recently.
You're not the only one! I'm a retired electronics and computer tech and sometime engineer, and I *really* don't like a lot of today's technology. I worked for a then very well known industrial computer and EPROM programmer company many years ago - the amount of effort we expended to make our products easy to use and intuitive was immense. Little things like the "pleasant low tone" to indicate successful EPROM programming was detailed to death. Of course, buttons/switches were engineered to the Nth degree. I don't see that with many of today's products, and yea - aftermarket stereos are ridiculous! My JVC has a kazillion little buttons in odd shapes and locations that are really hard to use.
Exactly, I'd love having simple butt-simple knobs for volume, tuning, bass and treble.
Bah. Already ordered the other one. And $50 extra to play CDs. It's got a USB port, so I can just load up the ol thumb drive
Something else to break, and as I said before, I don't use the CD player very often in my other car because I just use a geek stick.
Can you have the clock visible all the time? That is the only thing I hate about my cheap 25 dollar Walmart special. Well that and the reception isn't very good in several spot on the way to work. LOL
I want to see the clock, not the radio station or the BT Music. I already know that, I don't know the time. LOL
I really like the looks of this radio.
That's a fantastic idea! I was going to put a speaker in the un-used sub location, but now I probably won't! Thanx!!!!!
