I actually like that part about it!
Most in-car infotainment systems (esp. in this price range) are useless anyway, and are basically already outdated on the day they leave the factory.
You'll always end up with using your phone instead of the build-in system, as it is orders of magnitudes better at doing everything. So why car manufacturers even bother with trying to build their own systems always seemed weird to me.
Not sure if the car has no build-in speakers at all, the article doesn't mention that. Maybe it does have build-in speakers with bluetooth connectivity, just no head-unit (frontend).
- BlueTemplar 7y agoHow do the speakers go obsolete? And in most cars the radio itself can be easily removed.
- LeonM 7y agoI wasn't talking about the speakers, but the head-unit itself. This is often not just a radio, but an integrated unit with display, controls etc for navigation, radio, HVAC etc. In just about any car produced >2000 these radios are integrated in the dashboard, thus not easily replaceable.
