Radio / sterio question

[JMT]

Yeah, they have this thing called wireless CarPlay. My phone just stays in my pocket. I say, hey Siri, what’s the weather like today? Thumbs down on that song. Who was George Washington? If someone text me, it just reads the text to me. I don’t even have to look at the Head unit. Pandora, change to whatever station I want. Send text to… turn the volume up. Turn the volume down. You don’t have to do anything except say hey Siri and tell her what to do.

For those who think the OEM radio sounds good, some people still think their 1948 TV looks good.

Also, think about how to spell something before misspelling it in a post title.

Aw damn, I guess HAL 9000, West World, and Skynet mean nothing to you.

All wonderful works of fiction.

However Apple and Google and ChatGPT scare the hell out of me.

Which is why I don't sell my soul and all my personal information just to make playing music a little easier

I'll take that 98 am/fm cassette deck, please.

Or just a simple Bluetooth enabled amp and save the dash space for useful switches.

Maybe Elon will make a 'hands-free' Jeep just for you . . . video screens instead of windows, tell 'her' what scenery you want to see . . . Moab as your 'hands-free' Jeep takes you through LA traffic . . . what could be better than that?

No thanks.

The LAST thing I want to do when I get in my Jeep is to talk to Siri or wonder who might be texting me. If I wanted to do that, I would by a modern "Jeep."


If I want to turn the volume up or down, my hand can easily find the volume knob and give it a turn without my eyes even leaving the road.

I don't have CarPlay, but I have a wife who does the same exact thing for me. It just costs me 50 times as much for a year of service. If I call her Siri or Alexa, the price doubles.

It's your Jeep and money, so do what you want. For my vehicles, the older they are, the more likely I am to toss the OEM radio in the trash and put in an aftermarket stereo. If you get it on Crutchfield, they will include the harness (adapter) you will need to connect it. Starting at $50, anything you buy will sound significantly better than the OEM radio. If looks are more important that sound, go with the Cherokee radio.

They do also make OEM radios that were retro fitted with bluetooth.
