    I drive a car from 2000, it runs great, no spyware, no features in my car that I can’t use, all I need to is add Bluetooth to the radio and its perfect. I don’t really need a screen in my car to tell me basic information the dash gauges already tell me.

      I have a 2000 and a 2014. I don’t expect to replace either until both of them die. Even then… I also have a motorcycle. I really don’t want to buy any of the nonsense coming out these days.

        Sadly my tape player doesn’t work anymore, not really sure why? I had planned in getting on of these also my car lacks on aux port.

          My first car doesn’t even have aux port, so I had to use something similar, but connect to 3.5mm jack instead.

          Yes, it’s real and it works fine. There are also fully passive aux cable versions available.
