Radio Power Button

If this drives you as crazy as it did for me...

I've found the perfect product on Amazon to cover up the annoying radio power button which doesn't remain upright when you turn the volume ****.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XWCWM98/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XWCWM98/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Make sure you buy the matte version and not the gloss. The diameter of the largest sticker is a 100% perfect fit and looks like a stock button without the power logo!

Until you pointed it out, I'd have never noticed it. I supposed we all have out pet peeves, This one, (at least for me), doesn't even register.

I just use the volume buttons on the steering wheel instead.

It annoys me so I have it properly arranged, then use the steering wheel controls. If I really need to turn it up/down fast, I always have to correct it afterward.
I don't know why they made the **** like it is!

I find it more upsetting that the steering wheel "up" arrow causes the radio to go down a channel, and the steering wheel "down" arrow causes it to go up a channel.

In my previous car, the up/down would go through the pre-set stations (when listening to the radio). I think that was much better than just going up or down one station. I just want to listen to the stations that I like!
