Does anyone else hate the audio controls in the RL?

I hate having to dig in the audio menu to replay or shuffle a tune/disk. Is there a verbal command to do this action?

...and remember that there is always the command "voice command help" to get additional information on what voice commands are available. You don't have to dig in the manual.

My answer to your title question is absolutely no, I do not hate the audio controls in the RL because I rarely have to use them, voice commands enable rapid changes for most common funtions.

Between the voice commands and the steering wheel buttons, the RL's audio controls are VERY easy to use without ever having to take your eyes off the road or your hands off the wheel. There is a learning curve to using any system - once you take the time to figure it out, you'll love it.

No. I think they are great. Very user-friendly and they offer a ton of adjustment. Voice command is the icing on the cake.

I think they are very easy to use. If not, you can use the voice commands as others have mentioned.

if anyone crashes using the controls in the RL then they would crash using any other car's controls.

If you want to wait a couple more hours I will do it for you - although you can just go to the help menu and it will list all of them for you.

they are listed in one of the system menus and you should also have got some of them listed in the NAV book or in a sep type mini manual.

It took a few days to get used to the audio functions, but now I'm like an old pro. I typically use a combination of voice and menu commands without taking my eyes off the road.

I constantly find myself in my other vehicles pressing the non-existant volume and track buttons on the steering wheel
