There is a benefit if you can adjust the radio's controls from the steering wheel or the windshield,
thereby removing the necessity of having to tilt your head down to the center console every time
you wanted to adjust your radio. Notice how many of the Japanese sports cars actually used this
configuration with their car radios. Why didn't Blaunkpaunt sue them? Was it because it was a
good idea.

If there was one car company that was a monopoly, controlling 90-95% of the market, you can be sure that Blaupunkt and every other radio manufacturer would be suing. They would demand that, if such a feature was to be offered, that the interfaces be published and the hardware designed in a way so that other manufacturers can plug in their own radios. Moreover, they would also demand that the cars be available for sale without the radio installed so that the other manufacturers can sell theirs as an alternative.
