It's sad that you can't replace the infotainment unit in a new car with an aftermarket unit anymore. I imagine 10 years from now we'll have a fleet of cars with outdated infotainment systems that can't connect with whatever future version of bluetooth/carplay/android auto anymore. Imagine driving cars with giant but useless infotainment screens that can't do anything but playing mp3 off a USB stick because its outdated system can't connect to your new phone.

As long as it can play tapes, I'm okay. Still using a tape adapter to connect my mp3 player :)

Haven't seen a new car that can play tapes in nearly 20 years. Got bad news, boss.

Yeah, I hear you. I'll settle for an aux port when I get a new car...

I got bad news for you, boss...
