When I started driving I avoided the 8 track tape player… which was past its peak… for an under dash mount cassette player with built-in FM radio. I added 4 speakers to the car. The car came with only an AM radio.
I added an in-dash cassette and 4 speakers to my next car. I think it had the factory AM/FM radio with a single speaker.
The cars after those two had factory radios. With a cassette player, then CD player AND cassette, then CD only and finally NO CD but with audio inputs and finally Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
I find that I really like Android Auto. I use Waze on my phone through the car’s screen. I can play music, books, podcasts off my phone. Overall more seamless and useful than the built in Nav system.
