climate controls were still knobs. Still has a screen - but it's mostly for audio and phone connectivity. I still had to work through the settings to turn off the dumb **** like auto brights, etc. The only thing that is still annoying is the dumb Obama-era engine auto-shutoff. At least I can turn it off every time i get in the car, but it's still stupid. Thinking about installing one of those bypass switches but I have to tear out some of the shifter assembly to get to it.

Test drove a subaru and had to scroll through screens just to turn on the AC. Stupid
