But of course we all know that the big manufacturers don’t do this not because they can’t but because they don’t want to. Planned obsolescence is still very much the name of the game, despite all the bullshit they spout about sustainability.

      Yea, a portion of my problem is the bad implementation of Bluetooth in my 2013 Subaru Impreza.

      It just wouldn’t support Bluetooth reconnects.

      But in the end, if a friend is in the car nothing is quicker and easier than just plugging them in.

        My vehicle is from 2000 and I installed an after market Sony in it in 2010. Been using it ever since. But this was back when the system wasn’t so uniquely integrated into vehicles. It’s not really even an option in many these days.

          Yea, mine has a swappable front end, but just downs seem worth it.

          Ended up getting a Bluetooth adapter from Ali which works well.
