CT5-V Blackwing Radio Differences?

[Kimkeys99]

So, I noticed that some Blackwing radios have the volume and tuning knobs on it and others do not have any volume or tuning knob. Can someone explain why?

 

[arod221]

certainly...the manuals having the tuning knob while the automatics do not...reason for this is that the automatics have the tuning knob in the center console but the manuals don't have space for it in the center console

hope that answered your question my friend.

It does. Thanks. I ordered the manual but I like the clean look of the automatic.

Fwiw, I agree with you on the clean look, but the physical knob that close to the steering wheel is actually a lot more intuitive than in the center console. I've gotten a lot more use out of mine than I thought I would.

I wish my 5 had the center console knob!!!!!!!!! I get so use to it in the 4 and then get in 5 and start grabbing for one only to not find it...

Knobs for radios should be mandatory.

Yeah, but imagine how horrible it would be if your car were a slushbox...

Not everything has to be great, sometimes ok is just fine.

Just a note, the '20-21 CT4s had the knobs under the screens too. The '22 autos have them deleted.

The CT5 was the same way and I was hoping my Blackwing had it too.
