silicone thrills posted:You are clearly supposed to buy a new car with Carplay(tm) and stop being a drain on society and capitalism with your older probably paid off car. One thing that makes me lol is people on car sites whining about how old fashioned RWD enthusiast cars have disappeared but when someone mentions the Infiniti Q50/Q60 they're all like, eeww that's old even though it's everything they claim they want. Assuming they can even afford a new 6 cylinder car anyway...

Aux jacks have been gone from iPhones since 2016, but they're still on all the Android products. The lowest level Motorola smart phone currently still has an aux jack. Android phones are affordable and accessible, and iPhones are expensive and getting increasingly more limiting, but people would still much rather have the status items minus basic abilities than go for the pleb option.

I got work the shell out for the wireless buds too and they work ok and are convenient in like the gym but I'd rather have the jack so I could plug in my Sennheisers without the bullshit adapters

Yeah I'll be honest I haven't researched every Android phone, but I'm poor AF and so far never hit a phone without an aux jack. I'm about to buy another $150 phone after this one has lasted me 5 years and can confirm it has an aux jack. I am too poor for the aux jack disappearing to be an issue yet lol it's just funny to me it's a ~luxury~ problem to have less access lol.

My cheap noise cancelling headphones have Bluetooth for my phone and an aux port for the plane headrest. It isn't hard to find stuff that can do both.

They also sell Bluetooth adapters for wired headphones if you are really married to those and insist on making your life more difficult than it has to be

I'm kinda reminded about how cheap DVD players - like the $30 from Target or Best Buy kind - were the easiest to make region-free for a while, bc it was all software coded and the cheaper brands didn't put as much effort into locking it away. For most it was just a code you entered via the remote while in one of the menus, and blammo, now you can play a DVD from anywhere in the world. I've heard that now it's hardware-locked so you can't do that anymore, but I'll be honest I don't remember the last time I bought a DVD player to check.

My first car had a tape player, and I only owned 1 tape, When I was Cruel by Elvis Costello. I have to say, there is something sorta nice about listening to the same tape 500 times until every lyric is seared into your brain.

My last car was a 1997 Toyota Camry and it only had a tape deck so I had to use a tape adapter to play stuff off of a CD/MP3 player.

It's hilarious that for music in your car it was easier to play music off your CD player using one of those tape deck adapters 20 years ago than it is now Like they made it so you can put your entire music collection on a device the size of a credit card but then completely hosed up any level of compatibility between that and any vehicle that doesn't have built in bluetooth capability I have to buy a bluetooth adapter or a USB-C splitter and the sound quality is poo poo either way, the easiest thing to do is just make sure my phone is totally charged when I leave for a hopefully short road trip or just listen on my bluetooth headphones which is not legal in many states

We used to have drive-in theater here where you tuned your radio to a very local FM (I think) station. That was a cool place. It closed in 2015.

10 and 2 is boomer poo poo. 8 and 4 ensures your arms don't get launched into your face breaking everything when the airbag goes off because you crashed trying to steer underhanded.
