if kids are retarded enough to stand behind a car then Darwin is doing his job
>inb4 edge

My mom bought a new toyota a couple years back with a LCD screen/radio. When you turn the car on, the audio starts instantly but it takes several seconds for the electronics to load up so you can turn down/off all that noise. Even pressing/turning the knob does absolutely nothing until everything loads. That shit is the most annoying thing ever when I need to get in her car for whatever reason, I have to listen to super loud shit for several seconds.

I liked the physical buttons and potentiometers that you could even adjust with the entire system turned off.

>>14246512
Is there anything other than time and effort keeping you from installing a traditional radio system? How long until we see aftermarket dash replacements with a small screen for the backup cam and traditional radio controls?

>>14246509
yes those toddlers should pay the ultimate price for not knowing their drunk daddy is backing his truck out of the garage during chalk time.

Not saying it should be mandatory but to say the kids are at fault is ignorant.

>>14246551
>Is there anything other than time and effort keeping you from installing a traditional radio system?
Well there's the fact that it's not my car, cost, practicality, and the integration with the rest of the vehicle. It's hard for aftermarket parts to interface with other vehicle systems like OEM ones do.

>>14245686

Well, yeah. I'm asking generally. By the time I'm 40 every car will probably have this shit, so I want a way around it.

As long as you know your wires, you should be able to run power and speaker wire to any old stereo. You'd just have to make due with splicing wires instead of plugging in a harness. Worst part would be fabricating a shelf to weld to the interior and bolt the stereo to, I think.

That, or they'd just make the dash screen integral to operating the ECU/mechanics. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if pulling a jeep dash system out wouldn't make the jeep inoperable from what i remember reading about those hackers being able to control.

The fact that it's capable of having many parts replaced is a testament to simplicity.

>>14247034
I DD a 52 year old car and work on new ones 8 hours a day. There is no getting around simple = less likely to break, because there are less things to break. Imagine a current car in 50 years, vs. a 1966 car now, of course the 1966 car is much more likely to survive it's 50 year cycle due to construction techniques and simplicity.

I don't see who wouldn't want a backup camera in a truck.

It makes backing up to a trailer a one person job instead of two.

It allows you to see behind a massive truck. (A RAM 2500 tailgate sits at like 5'6" with the tailgate up).

It allows you to see behind the 24' behemoth.

Don't understand how you couldn't figure out how to back up to your trailer after the first couple times. I can back up to my camper, stop 5 inches away, get out and see what small correction I need to make, and generally stick it without any other motions. I only haul that trailer every other year or so too.

>look at the screen on the dash in your $40,000 truck

there's a reason poor people don't have nice things. it's not because you don't want them or couldn't use it, its because you couldn't afford it.

my jeep doesn't even have a passenger side mirror. that doesn't mean i wouldn't drive a new grand cherokee

>not offroad enough
>too nice
>too expensive
>fancy screens and leather etc

hurr durrr

As far as it concerns me, it's just not an issue...like, at all. I gotta walk out there anyways to lift the trailer up above the hitch anyways, and take the lock off and lift the latch...just getting everything done at the same time.

It's just like hearing people complain about driving a manual, it's really only an issue to you if you don't drive that often.

Those cars have HEI distributors, not point type. Still some electrical fuckery there.

>hanging out at the gas station
topkek why do rednecks and squidbikers do this so much.
Shit i live near philly and they do this.

It's because backup cameras are becoming a mandated safety feature.

>>14245637
>How did this happen?

I'm more curious about how you time traveled here from 1954.

They use LCDs for everything nowadays, man.
Fast food places use LCD screens for menu boards.
At the gas station they have a cooler with see-through LCD as the door which plays ads for Bud Light.
Lots of vehicles use LCD displays for the gauges.
Lots of people carry multiple LCD screens with them every day (cellphone, tablet, smartwatch).
