Am I missing something?

Yes, unfortunately we don't always have our remotes with us in the car. So, when my remote isn't with me, I have to push:

[down] - to bring up menu
[scroll left] - until I reach info menu
[down] - to select info menu
[scroll left] - until I reach "off"
[down] - to turn off text mode

This is seven or eight button presses I have to do, and I have to keep my eyes on the Empeg the whole time, squinting a bit if it's daytime.

If you can find a one-button solution to turning off the text info on startup, then I am perfectly happy with you guys doing whatever you need to do to protect yourself from lawsuits.
