I kinda do, still blindly reach for it and my finger just bumps the screen, lol
Having physical buttons is good enough for me.

i love my 80prs. i'm still searching for a unit that's as complete and functional. i don't need the full active portion so much, and the 1-global eq sucks, but the massive volume knob, and easy forward/reverse track controls don't exist in anything else so far...
I do still have it along with the carbon trim plate I made for it.
The 3-way active crossover works really well if you end up going that route, lots of tunability. Having a fully tunable front stage in such a small cabin is fantastic. The only three gripes I had with it was 1- the forced Pandora integration, I had to remove the app from my phone because it would default to Pandora mode every time the phone connected. 2- The lack of an attenuation button. Spinning the volume knob down was easy enough, but spin too fast and it doesn't recognize it. 3- The noticeable improvement in sound quality when wired vs just BT. All minor inconveniences, TBH. Really great head unit. The new Kenwood is a worthy replacement but cost 3x as much...
