Two low profile switches 1 cm x 1 cm in size hide easily in the bezel, are black and matte like the rest of the dash, cost 2 dollars and allow me to have control over the modes, i.e. if i were to be pulled over by an actual police car, one flip of the switch and DVD mode is disabled. Something that can not be done with the automatic controller.

Lets also remember we just removed a 400 button 90's looking unit which looked like a bloody computer, so minimal and two buttons / switches arent so bad...
There are many ways to do it , and you must do the best way for you .
I would describe adding switches as over-engineering a solution to a problem that does not exist .
MANY systems , not just alpine , are installed throughout the world using tr-7s without issue .
If you are breaking laws by watching a screen whilst driving and a cop comes behind you , the common scenario is to turn off the head unit or press "source" ....
