    My VW is this way and it’s infuriating. It drives me nuts that Down is Next, it’s so backwards.

    Volume should be up/down, and track left/right.

    I’m curious if the left/right would be language dependent? English is left to right, so Right would be Next. Would Hebrew and Arabic be the opposite since they’re right to left languages?

      How is that backwards? If you have music in a playlist in a media player app (or iPod or other MP3 player), the next song is underneath the one you’re currently playing.

        Which direction do you move your finger to access the next song on your phone when. Looking at a play list.

        Your finger moves up then taps the one you want.

        You could just as easily say that next should be up.

        Both are wrong.

        Next should be left, volume should be up / down.
