Who cares about Android Auto with specific buttons, I wanted them to compare the same tasks to a old device.

How distracting is it to play a specific song on a radio from 1999? Or a specific FM radio station that isn't already programmed?

2000 Volvo with same radio interface as the earlier 850. For playing a particular song, rest my wrist on the shift lever and push seek next until it gets to the right track. For a specific station, same button until it lands on that station. Not particularly distracting, and minimal glancing at the LCD readout that only shows current frequency or track number.
