Old tv remotes would do the same thing, but via a radio signal.

Never saw that. The old ones I used to work on all had hammers that struck a metal rods that were tuned to acoustically resonate at several frequencies near 40 kHz. The TV end had an ultrasonic transducer connected to an audio receiver/decoder.

I seem to recall our remote had three or four bars. One was for on/off, one (two?) for volume, and one for changing the channels - all 6 of them.

Back to the high-beam button. It looks like a lawsuit to me. See how the mat has slipped over and can impede the operation of the high-beams. This could cause the oncoming driver to be blinded causing a severe accident. $20 million bucks at the least in damages should be awarded. And a recall.
