Clearly, the volume change via the knob is way too slow, although I find the change via the steering wheel buttons just right.
At least shaft encoders don't go noisy and crackly when they get old like “pots”. (and some people) |
I agree that the volume buttons on the steering wheel are calibrated better. It’s also more convenient to use them rather than reaching over to twist the knob.
I also think we’re getting a little excessively nit-picky if the number of rotations on the volume control knob is becoming a big issue.
