Same as my Toyota. It’s a crazy indicator of how we expect things to be, but it’s absolutely not a deal breaker.
Makes perfect sense while you are holding a stick drift!
I’m lucky that my Subaru has it right. Left right are back forward and up down is volume. My only complaint is that the button in the middle is mute, rather than pause. I can pause CDs, bluetooth audio, and even live radio. Why in hell would I ever choose mute over pause?
yea Subaru does have it right. i was driving a Corolla and the buttons don’t even control the touch screen at all i don’t even know why they are there.
Why have a mute button when you could turn the radio off?
Because resuming from mute or pause has less delay. Particularly if using a CD or bluetooth audio.
My folks had a Volvo where the radio had 2 knobs and two buttons with arrows. One knob was volume, makes sense. The other knob and arrow buttons controlled the radio tuner and the thing to switch inputs from radio to cd to usb or whatever.
So on one hand you’ve got radio channels with about a hundred different options (90.1, 90.3, 90.5, etc), and on the other hand you’ve got maybe 5 different inputs. Guess which thing the knob controlled.
Clearly you’re meant to have the car on its side before playing any media
If you’re turning left, they’ll be correct
Volume will. Next and previous will be backward.
Ampersands on Lemmy, mildly infuriating
For me they show correctly on Eternity, unless OP has edited them by now. The trick is to use
&, in case anyone is interested.Fixed. It was appearing correctly in Voyager, but not in the OG web client.
&ersands*
I confirm that on a MINI Cooper the controls are also this way and the same as infuriating.
People actually use the steering wheel controls??? I use the cruise buttons but that’s it
I mean… that’s what they’re there for.
I mean… Yes? If there’s a way to do something without having to take my hands off the steering wheel I’ll use that
Same in my 2017 Toyota. Bought it new and trained my brain to use it. Someone finally released a replacement that’s set up correctly, and now I’m relearning the control.
I drove this make of car for a while; there’s an optional head up display where the up and down buttons here let you cycle through contacts/the song queue/radio stations. I’d imagine it’s the same interface without it, just displayed somewhere in the car where you’re not looking while driving.
Having it so that up/down moves you up/down through the list when there’s a visual display is way more intuitive than up/down being volume - frankly the volume bar on Windows, Mac, many TVs etc. goes from left (quiet) to right (loud) anyway
This is a Mini Cooper steering wheel.
Drove a Kia once and it was the same. Up went back a track, down went forwards. Opposite of my intuition.
Those directions make sense to me. If I view a playlist on my phone or PC, it runs top to bottom and skipping a track goes down the list.
If they’re on a wheel with volume then volume should absolutely be up/down and next/back be right/left, though.
Hyundai is the same, even on current models.
Is it a Japanese car?
explain?
Name and shame. What make and model?
