    I prefer volume control to be a rocker switch anyway. I think the controls on my Miata nailed it. One rocker for volume, another rocker for preset/track selection, one button for mode, and another button for mute. Couldn't be more intuitive.

    Why does GM put the audio controls on the right side of the steering wheel. I thought it was near universal that audio is on the left and cruise control is on the right.

    ^^I believe Ford has the audio on the right, so perhaps it's an American thing.

    Actually, Japanese cars have the audio on the left because in a right-hand drive configuration it is closest to the stereo, as it is in a Ford and GM.

    German cars also put the audio controls on the left.

    So, actually only the Germans are out of sync, because American and Japanese autos place the audio controls toward the center (in their native configurations).
