I am tech savvy and I hate screens in cars. They made it illegal to text and drive back when you could blind type on a T9 keyboard Nokia. But now it's ok to have a 30 inch touch screen right in front of you. I just feel like majority of people hate the act of driving and want to be distracted by...
In my opinion, rear camera is a must. When I got hit, the footage made it smooth sailing getting paid by the insurance.
I wired my system to the fuse behind the glovebox. No trim removal.
I've never owned a cd album in my life but got plenty of vinyl. There is probably a Lexus car that still has a CD player. I remember they were the last to have a cassette.
I have the Motorola one. Haven't got it to work yet. I think my phone is too old. I still got Android 9 and it seems like android wireless is not supported.
Every one needs a front and rear cam. My camera paid for my car after a rear end collision.
There are so many to choose from and they always get updated. My advice is to look for reviews about usability and reliability. Picture quality is always getting better and they all have similar sensors...
There is the wifi that the car connects to. That's used for downloading sync updates. There is the wifi hotspot feature which costs extra and uses the cars modem to provide internet for your phones and tablets. Besides that the modem is used for fordpass features and that's free.
This has become increasingly difficult for any car from the past 10 years. The best aftermarket head units will provide you with apple carplay/android auto but you most likely lose all the features and costumization.
I never considered upgrading sound on a car before. Yesterday I put on some tunes and was surprised how noticeably worse it was than my Fiesta. I'll definitely be upgrading now.
If it has a cellular modem it must have an IMEI. If the car works like a phone then they are legally obliged to unlock it once the device is paid off. The question is does it mean you can go to another carrier when you pay off the car?
