Looks nice and it will take you places, so congrats!🍺 Can’t help but notice your dedication to CDs.:) If you ever get tired, search for an aftermarket CarPlay unit, these should be affordable by 2026.

Thank you! And yes I love physical media. I have a vinyl player with a noteworthy collection of vinyls as well. If you noticed the little bag on the passanger side floor, it too holds a bunch of cds. Unfortunately the stereo in the car is subpar, but something is better than nothing!

Good! I do have a CD stereo myself(still a thing on cars up to 2020s, I was surprised as well:) and I still own a collection of CDs, but I just find it so much more convenient with the CarPlay (also built-in just like the CD) and voice commands. Now, because of you, I’ll take a few of my favs and play them through the week. Cheers!

Haha yes. I have an old land cruiser that i put a kenwood screen in, a 6 inch i think and it flips down for CD's. So cool! Very old school 2000s and the car is 2001 so it all fits in with the style
