Cars have gotten needlessly complex. And they're charging subscriptions and spying on people. Selling off the data too.

Arguably, the modern safety features are quite nice.

Seatbelts, SRS, ABS / TCS. Everything else is trying to fix problems that were introduced like requiring blindspot sensors and backup cameras since visibility out of contemporary vehicles has gone completely to shit.

I need a new radio for my car. I’d love to have one that is capable of having a back-up camera but that isn’t a touch-screen. Apparently those are incompatible requests. (Unless I want to pay $3000 to the dealer to replace my busted radio with the same kind of 10-year-old radio that my car came with. Which is absurd.)

I know I can theoretically purchase a radio online, but I lack the know-how to install it. I don’t know anyone who’d do that for me either, so… despite our technological wonderland, guess I’m stuck with quiet drives for now. :(

It's kinda like legos, getting your dash apart. If you have trim prying tools and a good screwdriver you're pretty much good.

I have a 2001 rn and the only reason I haven't swapped it out is because I can't find one that has everything I want. I really miss Bluetooth audio.

I don't think it's even possible to replace the radio in my Prius. Thankfully, it's mostly operated through physical dials and buttons.
