    No idea where to post, so I will put it here.

    Pioneer and Blaupunkt have both got retro car players out (or out soon). They both look like 80s car cassette players , the cassette player section is just a flap hiding usb ports etc.
    They look pretty good and great to have something new for you old restored car or 4wd I think.

    For me there's nothing like knobs and buttons, the pixalated screen is a bonus, my personal cars are old enough to still have this enduring feature.

    When Star Trek, The Next Generation, came out, I did not like the touch screens and have never bonded with them. I wonder if car buyers will like the tactile equipment better or if the stuff we liked has generationed out.

    Buttons are so much better, you can adjust volume, next song etc without having to look .. you can just go by feel..something impossible with a touch screen.
