No. 9 but for media volume

Thankfully, all cars I've driven that had a touch screen also had some media buttons on the steering wheel. I'd prefer to have good old physical buttons in the center console, but at least you didn't have to use the touch screen.

Buttons on the wheel are better than a touchscreen, but they suffer from being all backwards sometimes, as you use the wheel for it's intended purpose. The old Peugeots had this thing behind the wheel, you can controll the radio with, using just 2 fingers, without looking. It's the peak user experience. Nothing will ever beat it. I feel a suden urge to buy a beer for whoever came up with it.

French cars regularly had sometimes strange looking but often quite useful quirks.
