I'll third that motion.
I do tire of trying to read the fine print on the itty-bitty buttons while driving and moving about. These radios must have been made for being parked with a girl under your arm (I don't need to say more).
And why all the flashing lights and stuff like scrolling text even when the radio isn't on for use? I had a Sony that was always scrolling stuff until I'd turn it to off from sleep. Stupid design concept but I guess the marketing folks wanted it.

I have used the following radio in 3 cars, 1 pickup, and plan to put one in
a motor home. For $80, you cannot eat it. It has two sets of sound
outputs, hook up for rear camera, plays CD's and DVD's, USB drives, and a
lot more, including remote. Used to be $70. Friends have used it, too.
Buy via the Internet from Walmart.
