We can see everything else just fine and we can see all the labels on the heater and AC and all that but Cant see the volume and tune labels.. Or is my light bulbs not working or what.. This is totally stupid as heck why we cant.. here is a pic of what it looks like..

    There is a small lighted "whirl" above the volume and tuning knobs. Once you recognize them, you'll see them just fine.

    There's the little blue mark above the volume knob. I guess the days of "Vol" and "Tune" are gone.

    You carry that like a badge of honor. I just meant that when you reset all of your trip meters you were giving your chariot a "reset"

    Not sure if you meant my chariot, or ME, or BOTH! But I like it. :D I was thinking about changing my user-name to Lobotomy, but the sign up page said it's already taken.

    Hey - how come you've got KNOBS??? I read your comment "above the knob" - and went out to my car to find my knobs I'd missed all along.

    BUT - I haven't got any KNOBS!!! :(:cry::(:cry::(:cry: Or do I need my eyes checked? Can you see knobs?:rolleyes:. To change volume on the radio itself you have to hold your finger over the + or - spots - very difficult while driving, or use the steering wheel buttons, same with changing stations or scrolling, though they don't work reliably on the steering wheel.

    What I do have is a number for VOLUME LEVEL (the red arrow below) - but it only shows for a few seconds after you've adjusted the volume either with the +/- (stupid) touch sensitive spots, or the steering wheel buttons.

    If you don't have knobs and want to change the station with the audio as the primary display, try just touching the station desired in the list. Works on my touch screen. I can also scroll, but that is a bit touchy at times.

    One interesting behavior is if you use the Source soft button to switch say from AM to XM the last listened to station in that band will be active (or chosen). I use this to skip over some of my presets.
