Date: November 4th, 2024 11:31 PM Author: seedy dead locus I don't know. I don't even know why this guy is allowed to make that call. Seems like sales people and dealers would put a stop to it. I'm sure a lot of people just won't consider buying a car without CarPlay and will buy a Ford or whatever instead. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5625197&forum_id=2Elisa#48284166) |

Date: October 25th, 2025 2:01 PM Author: lucius quinctius cincinnatus (his own flesh as well as all space was still a cage) I have never tried CarPlay. I have never even tried to connect my phone to a car. Do people actually do that? lol. Why doesn’t GM just make a car that’s not connected to the grid and advertise it as an untethered vehicle you can work on at home in your garage. Tons of people will buy that product.

Date: October 25th, 2025 3:26 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK I have a Garmin GPS that lets me send addresses from my phone via bluetooff. It also gets live traffic updates and has much better lane guidance than Apple or Google Maps. It doesn't track my shit or upload any of my POIs to the cloud, and it gives me faster routes that Google about 50% time, since Google Maps chooses the most "fuel efficient" route by default, not the fastest. I can also take it with me when I travel abroad and I've used it in Europe and Latin America without issue. If you don't want to pay for foreign maps you can download pirated copies and load them from a microSD card.
This also lets me get cars with base model stereos that can be upgraded. Even if the head unit can't be replaced, you can throw one of these bad boys in an empty space behind the glove box and instantly improve any sound system:
Works with new cars:

It's only 4-channel, but you can use it for your 4 biggest speakers and let the head unit drive the smaller ones. |

Date: October 25th, 2025 3:38 PM Author: lucius quinctius cincinnatus (his own flesh as well as all space was still a cage) I have no idea why you’d want to undertake any of these projects. What the fuck do you need maps for? Just go to the place where the thing is at. Build in a little extra time to account for traffic. The speaker shit was all mumbojumbo to me. Who needs speakers to drive anything in a car? Tired of the wind. Roll up the window. Listen to the sounds of the road and the machine. Who would want to distract from that with speakers and relentless insolent noises been brought therefrom? |

Date: October 25th, 2025 3:40 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK New cars have a lot of cabin noise because the sound deadening material they used in the 1990s adds significant weight. That's why I always snag a box of Dynamat and do the door panels all around:
It really does weigh a fuckton though. If you do the rear hatch in a SUV plus all the doors it will put a noticeable dent in mileage. Some people do the floors and trunk but dat too heavy 4 me |

I bought an older 4x4 that I equipped with CarPlay but otherwise it’s a dumb machine and I only wish it were dumber |
