Oh wait...
Probably most intuitive and least distracting HVAC and audio control setup I have ever used was the low-series ICC on BA - BF Falcon's, SX - SY Territory.



How novel, a large dial for temp, a large dial for fan speed, a dial for the volume. All easily identifiable by touch alone without even having to take your eyes off the road. No fumbling around poking at buttons or useless touchscreens.

I will go so far as to say that the base-spec ICC on BA-BF Falcons was superior to the high series setup BA and BF Falcon's, and all FG Falcon's. The wall of buttons were harder to opperate by feel, the FG in particular because they shrunk the size of them.
