Rant: Lousy state of car audio
I’ve been looking at receivers and all of ‘em still suck! There aren’t any that don’t have multicolored flashing displays with gaudy bezels and chromed out plastic. Do they really think everyone who’s in the market is a 19yr old punk? And why do the LCD displays still use technology from the 80’s? Are they so cheap they can’t upgrade to higher resolution, easier to read visuals? Give me a nice analog knob and something discreet that doesn’t jump for attention everytime you turn it on. Come on, even Eclipse has gone to the dark side. You can’t get anything simple looking without spending the big bucks for their high-end units. And why can’t you put an auxilary input on all your head units? You cheap bastards.
