The SRC button on a car is a configuration found on the multifunction steering wheel, which stands for Synchronous Remote Control. It is used to switch between CD/USB/radio/Bluetooth audio and is typically located on the multifunction steering wheel. There are generally two types of synchronous remote control: 1. Used in conjunction with the tension system, mainly achieved through synchronization of quantities such as rotational speed and torque. 2. Spatial positioning controller, primarily used for inter-axis linkage in systems like robots and CNC machine tools. Additional information: 1. How to use the car SRC: When the radio is playing, push up to jump to the next station; push down to jump to the previous station. When an external device is playing, push up to jump to the next track; push down to jump to the previous track or the beginning of the current track. Push up and hold to fast forward; push down and hold to rewind. 2. Multifunction steering wheel: Refers to a steering wheel with function buttons set on both sides or below, allowing the driver to operate more conveniently.

There's an SRC button in my car that I use every time I drive. Its core function allows me to quickly switch between different audio input sources, like changing from the radio to Bluetooth music connected to my phone's playlist, or switching to USB to play my stored song albums. This feature is especially handy while driving—for instance, with just one press when getting in the car, I can switch to navigation voice prompts, minimizing distractions from operating the dashboard. Relatedly, it's integrated into the infotainment system and works seamlessly with steering wheel control buttons, making the whole switching process smoother. For daily commutes, this helps me stay focused on the road, particularly during long drives, as I don’t have to constantly fumble through menu options. It’s simple to use and enhances safety.
