- kristopolous 4y agoThere's car stereos for literally under $15 shipped these days. I'm not exactly recommending those models, but car stereos are generally quite affordable and easy to install. Something to consider
- Scoundreller 4y agoThey're usually garbage at that price point. The thing about a CD-changer though is that it usually guarantees that your existing system has a line-in for other devices. But sometimes the integration requires you to have a donor audio CD constantly playing even though you've spliced into the audio feed.
- adanto6840 4y agoDo many cars still have a single height "head-unit" space available in them these days? My wife's 2017 Hyundai doesn't. The last car I had that could accommodate a 3rd party head-unit install was a 2004 Subaru, and it required buying manuf. replacement bevel for where the OEM clock went IIRC. Maybe latest car stereos are just entirely headless?
- smackeyacky 4y agoCompanies like scosche make plastics to adapt some cars, most popular older cars with cd players or changers would be able to be upgraded to a mechless head unit without too much hassle.
- NikolaNovak 4y agoModern cars all seem to have integrated units. Even before but LCDs were the norm, so that's not a sole excuse :-/ (fyi it is my 2004 wrx that has a double din cd changer. I go car shopping every year or two, and I stick with my trusty Scooby every time :)
- NikolaNovak 4y agoOh gawd no. I have predictable functional big buttons and levers to do what I need. The $200 units (let alone cheaper ones) have 2mm buttons and a freaking remote control! Do not get me started on modern car UI :-)))
