47-55.1 Replace radio, gps and more with cell phone

70 year old dash boards don't have easily lend themselves to large flat panel displays.
People are giving away the old sucker mount Garmins, I keep one in the glove box of every vehicle and they work fine for what I need.

I am also not a fan of all the controls on a vehicle converging into one touch screen interface, when I drive my Wife's jeep if she is not with me I pretty much need to pullover to figure out how to do stuff like change the channel.

Don't get me started on all the drivers around here clicking n swiping their way along the highway every day

I had little choice in the the dash mod. My late cousin reportedly kicked the radio grill as a kid in circa 1968 just before i got the truck. I think garmin and other map projection gps have run out of time. Aerial photo based GPS like Google Earth seems much easier to use. BTW many new vehicles like Toyota charge like $3 k for inferior, built in GPS and expect you to use your phone for everything. You must plug your phone into the dash as well unless you use a "dongle".

With the good comes some serious bad. This from just using a cell phone or driving a new car. Some drawbacks to technology include tracking your every move, recording your driving habits and operating your vehicle remotely all while listening to what you say.
