If your car is old enough to have a standard DIN radio, you can easily replace it with a modern CarPlay/Android Auto unit. And cars that are new enough to have CarPlay/Android Auto built in seem to be generally holding up. It’s really just cars from a specific window (after they started putting nav systems and screens, before adopting CarPlay) that age really badly.
- hunter2_ 1y agoIn the early 2000s, even cars with oddball radios (like a CD slot adjacent to climate controls for example) could have an aftermarket head unit installed because dash trim kits were available to replace the proprietary layout with a DIN slot. Is this not the case for the era you mentioned?
- ashdksnndck 1y agoI’m not sure what the problem is, but there are a lot of cars where you couldn’t buy anything off the shelf to fit a DIN radio. People on forums were hacking solutions together with literal hacksaws.
