put this in my au falcon recently and while its mostly alright I was super let down by the shitty chinesium knobs. absolutely no tension or tactile quality to them so scrolling through songs while driving can be tedious. still doesn't compare to the cd player in my prelude before it got t-boned so I guess I'll forever be angry until I feel I've balanced the scales of my chud life.

2. (Optional) Unplug aftermarket universal connector from original radio connector
3. Install your old radio, if it's also aftermarket then plug into aftermarket universal connectors

It comes from a scarcity mindset that is typical in poor people. Rich people don't care about car payments because it's a service they need and they assume they'll always be able to make more money. Poor people don't have money because mentally the idea of generating new wealth is a foreign concept to them. That's why they're poor and believe that if they spend for item X they won't be able to use that money for Y later. A rich person would buy X and make money for Y getting both desired goods.

This isn't my opinion btw this is scientific, studied fact between two life outcomes and causative behavior.

I wish there would be actual R&D put into these dashcam / android auto / carplay / halftablets that are portable. Don't have to ruin the OEM stereo, don't have to buy a $300 dashcam, can take it and use it in your work vehicle...

I've never understood car audiophiles. Like, your signal to noise ratio is fucked just by virtue of being in a big loud box hurtling down the road.

>I mean, it sounds good on paper, but suicidal in practice.
only really works if you have the entire cash amount on hand anyway, otherwise the benefits fall off if the interest catches up to your projected profit margin before you can properly allocate
and the repayment schedule. low interest money is great, but if half of your monthly income is going to servicing the one debt, then it usually is suicidal

If you cared about sound quality you wouldn't be listening in a fucking running car. There's only so much you can do when your shit's compromised from the start.

Yeah its piss easy, if it takes you much more than 15-20min its usually only because you need to sort out some kind of pre-fucked rats nest that's been done badly once or twice and go by wire colours.
Don't get people who say 'oh take it to such and such a place' which is really only for the desperately difficult things that might require more than a decent set of tools and car jacks or some kind of super specialist things like figuring out wiring looms or very heavy mechanical work and you don't have the space.

A car stereo? Nah if you can't do that you're some kind of mental midget or actually crippled and should be driving a wheelchair
