barkleyI had a car and on the steering wheel was the left right for the volume and then up down to fast forward through songs/podcasts on my phone.
And then I drove a different car for a year and the up/down button worked opposite. Instead of fast fowarding, it skipped backwards and vice versa.
And then I went back to my original car and could never remember if I was skipping forward or skipping backwards. And that really annoyed me.
I say all this to say that I now have a different car and the whole set of buttons are swapped, and it's ALL SO CLEAR that the up down button should be the volume because volume goes up and down and the left right should be the skip forward/skip back button. All is right in the world and I can change my music like a normal person again.
