sorry, but the crying about vast amounts of tech that have no use while driving are totally irrelevant to me. give me nav and Bluetooth music and calling caps and that's all I need while driving.

USB video? seriously? why?

Actually, I want it to work well so that I can spend more time looking at the road.

For example... Why would turning the knob clockwise (the same way you'd screw something in) zoom OUT on Nav, and counter-clockwise (lefty-loosy) zoom IN? I'm sure that you can get that reprogrammed for a hassle, but why isn't that standard?

sorry for my heated response. I understand if you are complaining about tech related to driving.

my Audi has the same somewhat counter intuitive knobs, but you learn it and forget about it.

Software programmers do weird things like this all the time. A control is programmed around a function that may be predefined as something like spin clockwise = move down the list, ccw = up the list and then the whole thing extends to other areas where it no longer makes functional sense... but if CW is down and down is minus, then CW now equals zoom out, and vice versa.
