Just realized the volume knob in my 2013 car clicks in half steps and everyone I know thinks it's broken
I counted them on my drive to work last Tuesday, there are 40 clicks from zero to max, so each one is about 2.5 percent. My buddy rode with me and kept spinning it fast saying the knob felt loose, but it's not loose, it's just notched that fine. Here's the argument: tiny steps give you way more exact control so you can land on a good level at low volume, but big chunky clicks feel way better in the hand and you never overshoot. I think the half-step thing makes sense for quiet stuff at night, but my buddy swears a knob should move in bold 10 percent jumps so you can crank it without spinning forever. So which side are you on, micro-clicks or big satisfying ones? And has anyone else had a passenger complain about their dash knob like mine did?
