Losing a bunch of money as depreciation for a marginally more efficient car doesn't really make accounting sense.

These are accessories that car manufactures generally do a worse job of producing than 3rd parties.

- nunez 10y agoSome cars are very difficult to retrofit. My 2012 Accord simply cannot get a CarPlay-compatible head unit without redoing the entire dashboard. That's a multi-thousand dollar job that also compromises safety (airbag placement). Not worth it for a minor feature (though I do really like CarPlay). Same deal for my 14 Ram 1500. Fortunately, UConnect is pretty decent as it is.
