If the next button is to the right of the volume knob, always, and the play button is below the volume knob, always, and the previous button is to the left of the volume knob, always, then if you can find the volume knob, you can find those other controls. It's just a biiiiiit of learning your car's interface.
The play button is number 5, 4 is shuffle and 6 is repeat. the buttons for 1-6 are smooth meaning you can not discern on wich button you are without looking. Shuffle and repeat have 3 modes you switch through if you press them.
Volume Knob opens the Menu onclick.
I can type mostly blind on both a Touchscree(phone) and on a Mechanical Keyboard.
You can type blind on a center console touchscreen, but you can't memorize the location of 6 buttons that don't move? I'm not buying it, doc. Besides, the buttons should at least have a ridge where the edges of them are, even if the buttons are smooth. If they're those shitty, completely smooth capacitive "buttons" that some electronics have anymore, I get not being able to discern them, but that's still the same problem as the touchscreen - no tactile feedback.
I also wasn't exactly trying to say exactly how your radio is laid out, I have no idea on your specific model. My point was that the buttons don't move, they're always in the same spot, so you just learn where they are.
