I do have a tendency to be overly harsh about what I consider to be archaic radio units in cars.
With so many models having screens where you can see the many radio station options, those with a one-line-only digital display seem dated and limiting. The ASX is an example of this. As a result, one has to resort to pressing the numbered buttons to discover what radio station is programmed into each. It’s not the end of the world I know, and it’s really not so bad because at least the controls are easy to use.
