Remember Nakamichi? That was pimpin' in the 80s.

I was into car audio competition in the 90s. I had an in-dash DAT ($1200+), had home-modified various systems, but always to go more modern. My entire life with cars, I've wanted what they have today; mech-less face with solid state only. My previous Jeep was fitted with the Alpine mech-less...

Nothing you know about the old system applies to the new one. That's why Starlink is such a game-changer; terrestrial quality of service but anywhere. My friends who have it are 100% satisfied.

You know Starlink is fully capable and supported where you are, right? And it's FAST, and super stable.

For all we know, we already can. But you and I have very little chance of finding out. The Hertz deal is good, I recently needed a car for a trip and was going to have to drive a few hours from the airport. Tried to find any modern electric, but no way. Also, Musk has promised that the...

No, it's a digital demon hell-spawn that steals the souls of toddlers for your musical amusement, and will also go chase grade-schoolers with your snowblower when you're not looking.

The Tesla also has bidirectional encrypted RFID cards (credit card). But you have to hold those up to a reader, they are not proximity keys like our fobs. I can't see any possibility of a prox key that is card-thin. They need power. The Tesla card gets inductive* power from the reader...

This is how the Tesla works. But it's integrated, just adding it on is simply not going to happen. There's also a standard for all cars to use phones, which BMW is already using, and others are signed into. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211234

I'm 56 and have owned well over 30 cars. This is the first car ever that is keeping its factory radio, and is completely satisfactory to me. Love it. First time they finally got rid of all the old garbage and put in all the new features like USB-C.

Free stuff is usually worth that you paid for it.

I think there's a CD holder built into the models that have the buggy whip holder, and 8-track adapter.

The Apple music service allows unlimited local storage also, and I assume the others do? I have around 20GB of saved stuff. When I add something to one of my favorites lists, it's downloaded for off-road availability. Much easier than buying/carrying a CD.

I remember CDs fondly. In the 90s. The day I was able to rip everything to proper storage and sell off the CDs to some sucker who thought they'd be around "forever"....priceless.

If you're right, then they will be super cheap to buy in a couple months.

Gear ratio is a physical set of gears meshing together. It's around $1200 to have both differential gear sets changed. You MUST reset the tire size with a device like the Tazer in order to make the Jeep drive well and show/know the speed. You CAN also physically re-gear to regain some of the...

These services cost money, since they have to use the cell network. I've never heard of a free one.

SiriusXM audio has absolutely nothing to do with the Guardian service. They are billed separately, and are two totally separate systems. In fact it seems to be run by AT&T, not Sirius.

There are multiple levels of the service. They try to pitch you on all the useless concierge and emergency stuff (everyone has a cell phone now) along with the useful features like remote start. If you call you can buy just the convenience features (start, lock/unlock, vehicle status). The...

Normal as in MSRP, or normal as in the normal discounts off MSRP? Because if it's the latter, you can make a killing bringing cars to AZ, where MSRP+3k is the new normal.

BUT WAAAAAHHHHH IT'S NOT FAIR!!!! Same with the ammo and gun parts "gouging." It's called free market. Since 1999 and the Y2K idiocy, I've learned to buy cheap before the panic, store it, sell a bunch when morons panic, profit, buy again later. Also, it's actually good for society to find...
