THE PROBLEM
Most cars that came out recently have large 2DIN displays, some are touchscreens, some not -- yet car manufacturers seem to be playing it safe with regards to what is included in your dashboard’s mighty multi-feature-capable display. There are available upgrades, but many fall short of what can be. There are manufacturers that do put the bells and whistles, but at a hefty premium, are region-dependent, and are still very limited with what they can do. Cars’ factory dashboard stereos with large displays need to have better and more capable systems, including a built-in GPS.
