BTW, anyone noticed how slow the car stereo aftermarket is to put a real multimedia head unit out there? I'm talking Android interface with a 256GB SSD or something like that.
There's a plethora of units with touch screen, a relic CD player, and input jacks on the front to hook up your iPod or whatever, but very, very few of them actually have a large amount of onboard storage, and there are only a few that are using Android as the interface.
You hardly even see any with SD slots on the front.
I put an el-cheapo $50 unit in my boat that only has a tuner, an SD card slot, aux jack, and USB on the front. I have two 8GB SD cards in the boat, so when we're out on the lake we have somewhere around 5,000 songs at my fingertips - no messing with CDs..
It's awesome, but when I look for a better unit with those features, they're strangely hard to find...
I wonder if it's the whole RIAA / MPAA / DMCA complex threatening manufacturers?
