Unfortunately, when I only have a few seconds to show the judge how to use the car I need to make it quick and simple.
Though the ideas posted are all really cool and well executed!
I dont know if you have room or not, but since you wont be driving with it , i think the space navigator is the way to go, if it will look good in your car..
When setup correctly, as I have it, it makes perfect sense and is a no brainer to use. You twist it left or right for volume, tilt it to the right to skip foreward a track, left to go back a track. Press it down for play/pause.
Then, you're still left with pulling it up, tilting it up and down, two buttons on the side (great for making it go full screen visualization, or putting it in to mouse mode) as well as being able to 'slide' it left/right and up/down. Of course, fromthe sounds of it, you just need those simple things i listed above..
Just my suggestion.. Oh and it has a blue led that you can turn on/off if you want..
