One of the most annoying things about my car radio is that, while the
volume controls (which would be easy to reach anyway) are duplicated
in the steering wheel, the tuning knob (which requires a stretch to
reach) is not.  I guess they assume that most drivers will cheerfully
flip through nine presets in sequence to get to the station they want,
and no driver will ever listen to both AM and FM stations.
