Maybe it's me, but I have something like 60 credits beyond a Masters' Degree (not that there aren't degreed idiots around) and the manual for the radio that came in my "S" was one of the most poorly written pieces of crap I've seen since I bought my daughter a cheap korean bicycle.

Give us an example

P.S. The radio couldn't be any easier to use, if you have a Degree you should be able to work it out

I agree that the manual is difficult to use -- luckily the radio is not.

The manual's 'organization' is truly bizarre. I honestly wonder if it was intentionally put together in an obfuscated manner, perhaps in a misguided attempt at a trendy style?

Didn't even read the manual yet - dealer went through the basics - enough for me to play the AM/FM/CD/6-disk changer w/o problems.

No problem using it at all...I was just commenting on how poorly written the manual is. I brought my car hoem at 8:00 PM, and went insie to read all of the manuals. The radio manual made little sense. So, the next day I went out without the manual and had no problem programming or using the radio.
