What cars are we talking about? Modern cars integrate their entertainment system with a bunch of car-specific features, so it's no longer possible to swap "just the player" unit, like it was possible earlier.
- maxsilver 10y agoI'm using a Toyota Yaris as an example. All recent models (including the current 2016 model) can be swapped out easily. With Electric cars / Hybrids, I can see issues since they integrate environmental controls and other stuff in to their radios. I suspect as electric cars become more common, entertainment companies will start building units with support for those features.
- jimbobimbo 10y agoInteresting... Wouldn't think anybody still does it. It's already impossible to do in 5th-gen Camaros, for example (2010-2015). I wouldn't be surprised that other Chevy cars are the same way.
- maxsilver 10y ago> It's already impossible to do in 5th-gen Camaros, for example (2010-2015) Is that actually true? I'm no expert, but Crutchfield claims a 2010-2015+ Camaro can take almost any new infotainment box you'd like from their site. (Both Single or Dual DIN). They claim you'll also retain all OnStar, audible safety alerts, and climate control functionality with your upgrade, regardless of the upgrade you choose.
