Greetings, all. I'm a 4-month Prius newbie with a Ubiquitous Silver 2005/Package #6 model with Nav, JBL, XM radio, etc. Having gotten a lot of help from the discussions in this forum, I've learned about many of the Prius mysteries - er, features - but am still curious about those high-tech knobs on that high-tech radio.
Yes, I've found that they can in fact control tuning and volume. But why, pray tell, do they have that detent position? Maybe it's to discourage unexpected manipulation by driver, kids, pets, passengers or spouse? Or something actually useful? I've found little reference to them in the Owner's Manual, or even here (although admittedly haven't gone through all 49,300+ posts).
I’m still in the learning phase of Priusness, and it’s a rare week when I don’t learn something interesting and/or useful about this remarkable machine. After four months of not knowing about those knobs, I really haven’t lost a lot of sleep over the matter, but... :roll:
Anyone?
