Yes but not using real buttons was a daft decision in the first place.

Indeed! Bet the accountants loved it though. Hopefully heating and safety controls will be back with physical controls next.

Looks like the bean counters have lost this argument - hopefully this will filter down ASAP

I'm on it. I am working (in my spare time) on a direct swap pcb module to fit behind the factory steering wheel facia that converts those retarded touch buttons to proper buttons.

I popped the front off the wheel and started cad+trace design of a replacement PCB that will have standard 'click' buttons under the factory touch facia.
I think I have worked out the method of comms, as I want it to be entirely click and play. I connected the car's original PCB (only done the right hand side so far .... I hate those volume buttons) to my test rig and read the output as I operated the buttons.
Just need conversion to make standard buttons output the same data (not difficult)
