Default anybody else annoyed by...

the leds in the cup holder? they stick out and you can't fit anything big in there like a glass sobe bottle....

and I keep hitting the dang hour and minute buttons! Bad design... It should be that you have to hold these buttons down a few seconds to actually advance the time... not if you tap it by accident. That would only make too much sense..

Thank God I am going to change out the radio... Getting alittle annoyed by the volume buttons.... IT SHOULD BE A ****. If they are going to put a radio cover on this thing, they should of put some volume/preset controls on the steering wheel....

ok I feel better.

I'm too poor for the cup holder leds, so that fixes that

I feel the same about the hour and minute buttons, especially when you aim for the Time/Temp button and you miss.

A **** would have been better, but the buttons arent that bad.

^ Because that would drive the price up, granted not by much, but still.

R&D time for nearly anything planned for a launch of a new car will drive up the total end cost to the consumer... That probably would have been negligible, but still worth mentioning.

I've never had a problem w/ the temp buttons.

The bottom of my hand does hit the hazards sometimes when adjusting the volume though.

yeah in my camaro thats how i had it setup, even though i normally just used the deck anyway, i mean it was only inches away from the wheel, plus if you drop the remote your fuxored. i havent set up the tC like that yet though cause im kinda partial to the unrestricted output by the stock deck. plus that SSP thing is pretty spiffy. i didnt realize it until after i got a sub but when you put that thing on feel you feel it.
