    Back then we could pull the factory radio out, and replace it with a new one. And it was easy.

    I duplicated CDs for a while for the car, then bought a new car stereo that could play MP3s and condensed my collection onto 3 discs. I left the discs in the car when I sold it

      I never had the luxury of an easy replacement, I always had to deal with jank mounts that had to be cut to fit the car and stereo, and then there was the mess of wires to hook up. That’s what I get for trying to jam 1990s technology in to 70s and 80s cars…

        Mine were a corolla and a commodore. The first had a standard rectangular 1 unit space; the second had a standard 2 unit space

        It made it super easy. I wish all followed that standard. Stock audio sucked
