Default Refection Moment

I was looking at the dash today and said to myself
"These controllers for the radio in a sports car are rubbish."
Don't like em. Don't use em.
I drive this car. I listen to music on a real HiFi at home.
Like the original 240Z, the S2000 should have had gauges for water,oil,amp

Nothing stopping you from changing that. Though in all honestly 99% of people don't need that info.

There is a replacement for the circle button that will run through a bunch of readings so you can get your jerking on watching it read out stats

Cool story, bro. No car is designed with just one person in mind. I use the audio controls all the time as it allows me to remain focused on driving.

I the radio controls. I rarely open the cover to adjust anything. I would have given the S a bit more power. jm2c.
