    You’re partly right.

    Ford uses inches.

    Toyotas are metric.

    Happy Friday :)

    I’ve never measured stereo volume in metric, but I’m open to the idea.

    No photoshop. Ford had patented the concept of Up/down for volume and left/right for track. It’s groundbreaking.

    Toyota is in rebellion.

    It just makes too much sense to do it Ford’s way.

    This patent must be recent. My 2016 F450 has both going up and down.

    The only problem with Ford is it’s on the wrong side. I like those controls on the left side so I can use either depending on the situation.

    Still way better than Toyotas abomination

    I always liked the setup on my BMW. Volume up down on the left with bluetooth controls, next/previous track on the right hand next to the input select.
