Love watching Mr. Cooley do his top-5s (part of my morning routine at work while drinking coffee). Weird though that I have been watching for so long I have actually watched his beard go from brown to salt-pepper to white... :). Keep doing it, very informative and entertaining.
I am a late car tech adapter. During COVID lockdown I installed an eBay 7" Android head unit with two dash cams and a rear view cam for total $120 with all parts included. I enjoy the convenience and now that it is installed I don't mind the installation process either lol.
Brian, if you bought a Ford 2012 Focus you're screwed! We didn't get the SYNC APP LINK in our car like the 2012 Fiesta or the 2013 Focus. I have heard Ford say since 2011 "We're working on an upgrade for the Sync systems in 2012 Focus to have APP LINK". Here it is 2 years later and still no upgrades available from FORD to download and install on a USB drive to upgrade our systems. Try a Kenwood deck they also have iData Maestro to work in 2012 Focus and do APPS!
LOL - I'm GLAD my old car still has a cassette deck! When my CD player konked out, I had boxes and boxes full of cassettes that I hadn't played in 20 years or more. Saved my sanity on the long, boring drive down I-5 from SF to LA. ;-)
Some decks with bluetooth like the Pioneer units will also let you use your stereos controls to skip songs, fast forward, etc via bluetooth to your Mp3 player. Something I don't think Pioneer advertises too good that you can use the radio deck to control the mp3 or iphone when playing music thru Bluetooth.
You know what I want to see for car tech that still might be a few years out there? It's those radio controlled helicopters, if someone could find a way to make them follow ahead of the car and send back road condition information that would be the coollest car toy.
For me I don't want to go messing with my head unit and all that because it takes time and is expensive. In my state it's technically illegal to use a windshield mount in the car but no one cares in my town. I use a good Magic mount that has magnets. Then I use a cassette adapter to a Bluetooth receiver simple but Brian is right phones are the best infotainment interfaces out there.
Why you hating on the cassette tape deck. I actually prefered the tape deck stereo in my old car that the CD unit that's in my current vehicle because, with a $5 adapter turn it into a AUX input, I could connect any 3.5mm device into it, eg a MP3 player. Add in a 12v adaptor and you were set. Sure, it may not be the cleanest look or most eloquent solution but you can't fault it for how it works. Plus, added bonus, when you arrived, you could unplug the device and continue listen on headphones
Move videos like this. The only thing I have on this list is a double din stereo.(kinda defeats the reason of getting everything else on the list) Really you can install it your self. Really simple just order the right parts for your car.
I'm actually just fine with my cassette deck! I just buy one of those Cassette-AUX adapters for like $13 bucks and plug in my phone. Cassette adapter $13 vs new stereo $100 plus!
Seth Goodwin on Amazon there's a really good one for $5 (when I bought it) by Anker I believe. thick cable, gold plated, and very good looking as you'll see in the images of you look it up.
Hey Luis they still have cassette adapter if there any Family Dollars around you, you can get it from there. watching this dump video who in the hell can afford these products...wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
over priced, over tech, unservicable electronic pollution. total crap i refuse to buy a modern automobile. complete plastic shit. and they want 40 k for one of these pos machines. strip out all that shit. get rid of all tbe technogeek pollution

Never knew about the aux-bluetooth adapters. Definitely getting one!
Tech + Cars + Cnet = amazing! Thanks!
Dudes got the best voice
Got myself a 7" Android HU with back up cam, works wonders :-)
That was awesome more shows like this please
We need him back on top 5 its why I liked CNET to begin with. Everyone else is either awkward or tries too hard...

Thanks this is a more better deal than buying dealerships bundle
is he back on top 5?!
"Which makes you look like a baller. "
The #1 is definately awesome
Why not a police radar 0.o
...it's legal in some states
its Rader jammers that are inlegel they block Rader guns and can put you in jail jail however detecting your speed is not
+Tommy Whitaker i may be wrong but i heard that there's one state that bans radar detectors but i can't remember what it is

Man back when radio shack still existed

I need a double din stereo for my bmw e39...the single cd radio aint doin it for me...doesnt even have an aux port
I miss when he does these Top 5 ):
what happens if you plug the bluetooth adapter into the amp?
putting tech in a car is like putting makeup on a beautiful woman its pointless. just happy with an aircon. Coolster you rock by the way
If that's your illusion, I am impressed :O

Maybe you could learn some basic wiring and install whatever you want yourself. I installed my friends custom radio for him and it was easy.
The way my comment is still top after a few months LOL :D
#1 is amazing.
Futurist 2046_ i.
Prob just for the Car edition.
Its a good way to tune up your car but its not the same as in built in
What if your car is a 67 Land Rover and the only 21st century item in the car is a towel.
Always makes me laugh to see people with huge, bright nav units mounted in stupid places on their windshield.
3:12 what a waste of money, you got it all on MFT!
Only for Car tech.
I just got a GPS and stuck it on my Dash lol.
I've never bought a aux cable for less the $15 cuz usually anything cheaper is shit
Seth Goodwin on Amazon there's a really good one for $5 (when I bought it) by Anker I believe. thick cable, gold plated, and very good looking as you'll see in the images of you look it up.
Oh Cooooleyyyy!
3:18 yay foo fighters
I don't have a Ac in put
for car stuff
3$ cable at radioshack? they'd charge 12$ for an aux lol.
stop showing the iPhone all the time and show an Google Android phone
Oooo its a video from 2013
Man i cant afford half the things on this list, gotta be a cheaper but better way
All of these items are obsolete now in 2018
CAN WE PLEASE GET HIM BACK?
Mr Lupo ????
ahem a radar detector?
Cooley :)
Cooooooooooleeeeyyyyy!!!!
Just the Car Tech. :(
Yes brain!!!!
At least he will never, ever say what you can or cannot afford like that one DOUCHE BAG did on that Lamborghini Veneno video.
Laughing in August 2018.

BRIIIAAAAAAAAAAAANNN!!! :D
Nope, just for cars. It sucks I know.

i want to be a baller!
Hey Luis they still have cassette adapter if there any Family Dollars around you, you can get it from there. watching this dump video who in the hell can afford these products...wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
