I don’t know a lot about his topic so looking for some help. My current infotainment system looks like this-
It’s a relic from 2007 - 7" touchscreen with Navigation. I play music from a USB, but I use my Android phone on a vent-attached holder for Navigation and streaming through Bluetooth that doesn’t sound all that good. I was looking up aftermarket units specifically at Best Buy (I read they install for free) and I am seeing units from $299 to $999. I really like Android auto and that is all I need. I’d go for a cheaper option with no navigation and smaller 7" screen to fit in the current console. Something like this-
Questions:
1. Will the new unit overwrite the original OS and screens or can I still access them?
2. Will putting an aftermarket system hurt the resale value? I mean it’s no Toyota Tacoma but I don’t want it affect it too much. I plan to keep the car for a couple of years. Honestly though, I’d assume the next buyer would appreciate the upgraded infotainment with phone connectivity.
3. Will it increase the resale value by any chance? If I traded it in?
4. Has anyone had aftermarket audio installed at BestBuy? do they do a good job? One of our friends upgraded their car and they highly recommended it. or do I go independent Audio shop?
