- I don't want to upgrade my car unit by replacing the whole thing but I see one that is installed behind the unit and compatible with my car that is a teenager (by its age). Debating if I should just go with that unit since I want Bluetooth in my car (I don't have an aux either so Bluetooth will do). The comments say that it's easy to install but I am so nervous about breaking something.
I should just dish out the money to pay for this unit, but I'm kind of tempted to try out a a cheaper cigarette lighter option with a wire. Probably not going to do it immediately, but it is something I would like to get help with since I enjoy Spotify Premium, and I use it most days. I do also like to listen to podcasts too for longer drives.
I need to get my dress taken care of first, which I plan to do tomorrow. Anyone else here have/had a car that is older without Bluetooth and/or an Aux port?
I really like my car and since I got it with low mileage considering the age, it will be with me for at least 5 years, knock on wood.- Share

Well I would somewhat disagree on that one. Most of the attackers were born and raised in Europe, it was not the immigrants who commited assaults. At least up until now, I know very little about the most recent attacks.- Share

I installed a new stereo head unit (that's what they're called) in my Citroen. It's got digital radio, bluetooth, AUX and USB port.
I'd go with a new head unit with integrated bluetooth. You simply don't get the same control or volume out of AUX. Especially if you have steering wheel controls like I do.
Most new head units are easy to install. The main thing comes down to your model of car and what type of stereo is currently in it. If it's a factory specific stereo, like most newer models, then it's a complete PITA to install. If it's an older car with a DIN standard then they're fairly easy to install.
What car do you have and what stereo are you looking into?- Share

- Hmm, I have seen some too. They seem to be very nice but wires. Also my lighter port is like tucked inside a storage compartment. Both are actually, which I like, because it looks nicer but it makes something like this possibly a pain.

What I believe to be an actual problem is a lack of parenthood. I'm not just spitting this out, I'm saying this from my own experience and from what I've witnessed. Kids and teenagers who had irresponsible and 'mild' parents, parents who approved everything, always defended their kids and never really cared what they do - those kids got into some serious troubles. It wasn't the tradition that got them to extreme, but a lack of religious knowledge, and any knowledge at all. They were simply manipulated.
This is how it works, at least here. There are fairly small groups that have divided themselves from the official Islamic community, and they have their own mosques and institutions. What they also got is money, which they use very cleverly. Volkswagen Sharan isn't called the wahabi car for nothing. They use their money, influence, a bit of psychology and aim weak personalities. They have a strong bond inside the community, it's like a cult, which it practically is.
Those new recruits are used for such evenents. Every one of these groups has a highly educated leader that is even more respected hailed.
The point? It's not all tradition. It's mostly manipulating. The guy who attacked US embassy in Sarajevo is a clear example. Was a lunatic back then, now he's pretty much rehabilitated and realises what a fool he was.- Share

Ah, that's the name! Thanks. Your unit sounds very nice actually. I would have never known that. Yeah, like you, I have steering wheel controls for volume, mode (Fm, am, cd) and a up and down.
Now you have given me something to consider, thank you. I have a 2004 Toyota Camry Solara. I don't know the standard or anything of it, I just know it is the one that was manufactured with the car originally.
I'll like one with Bluetooth and AUX and a CD player too (for some of the ones I have that aren't available on Spotify). It would be nice if I can answer and make calls with it, but that's not required. I have no idea about brands or anything, sad to say.06-05-2017 10:54 AMLike 0 - Now while I don't know the tradition of Southern Africa, Arabian peninsula and the Mesopotamia area (didn't know what else to call it), I strongly doubt that it encourages people to stab each other just for fun, or blow themselves to take other's lifes as well. Highly unlikely.

Yes, parenting has gone downhill a lot. Just ask any teacher or instructor at a school. Lots of parents think their kids are special and entitled.
Also, Islam isn't the only one with this type of issue. It may be in the news more but there are 'terrorists' from all faiths. They all use similar methods of indoctrination.
At the heart of it though is what I said, cheery picking, strict adherence and tradition. When I say tradition I don't necessarily mean the 'local' traditions but what people come to think of as 'religious traditions'.- Share

Going by the pictures I could find online, it appears yours is an integrated system. Which means I'd probably get someone to do it. Unless your interior is different than what I saw.
The best thing to do is to find a brand you like. Find the one that has all the things you want, including steering wheel controls (though that's pretty standard these days). Basically the install will consist of replacing the existing unit. It will require a new fascia, most installers will have them for different cars. It will require two harnesses, one for the unit and the other for the steering controls. Depending on if you get digital radio, that will require an new antenna and if you get a mic that will require placement.

While they are alike, you can't call them the same. The religion and the cult. There are distinctive marks of cults, such as leader they believe is godlike (alive one), close connection betwen members, and not so large groups. At least that's what's sociology says and what I was taught.- Share

Cult - alive god like leader

Hmm, I'll look into it, thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience with this. Since your unit has those things, that gives me hope that I can find it. I have heard of Kenwood and Pioneer but I really need to look into it. My dad knows some people that can do this for sure, it's just a matter of me deciding on the brand.
I know this would cost probably, if not just the installation, the unit and installation so I'll probably do this when I get a handle on the phone stuff for a bit, which will hopefully happen soon for me. I'm down to my last 2 choices.- Share

But for one major flaw... the steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car.

- I'm debating if I should just keep this iPhone 7 I just got, just because I already have a smart battery case.
If I was to return it for a 6s, I would still have to buy a battery case, which is still $99 somehow.
At the same time, keeping the 7 means I'll need to get a dongle and the lighting headphones.
That would be cheaper though. I'll see how this week goes. Currently testing it without said battery case to see if this battery life can kind of come close to the SE or not. It's been hard to find a solid battery comparison, aside from this one, which the SE is still better than both phones.
I am just amazed how I manage to squeeze out 5 hours SOT on my Pixel at qHD resolution!- Share

The iPhone 7 isn't bad but I'm not even close to wowed. It's just okay. The radios are solid though. Not Pixel solid but close enough.06-05-2017 12:37 PMLike 0 - Nice! I think I will consider that in a bit. I'm hoping I can find one that goes with the interior. My car has a silver/gray interior. A black one would just bother me, hopefully I can find something.

- Yep. Tradition is usually the driving force behind certain ideas. It's the reason why some religions still exist over the actual religion itself.
Take Roman Catholics, Jews or Church of England. Lots don't follow their 'faith' and sometimes don't believe in them but practice it's traditions regardless. The pull is usually out of respect for the elders and the past.
It's a continuous cycle of one passing on ideas from one generation to another. Typically to the easily convinced young brain.
(offence notice)... It's like passing on a very bad disease from generation to generation.- Share
