This ain't for me, if it were my truck I'd probably put in an android headunit. It's going to be for my dad's 2000 or 2002 Ranger, and want something mainstream and easy to learn and use.
He's never been much into aftermarket audio stuff as long as the radio worked he was happy. He bought a new F-150 last year and likes the way the radio is setup and the built in backup camera. He asked me the other day if something similar could be put in the Ranger. He's already got a backup camera with a screen that he can sit up on top of the dash, but he wants something built in. I think he would also like to have the built in hands free, the ability to use navigation, and stream music from cell phone. He said he doesn't care about having CD as long as he can stream music from his phone.
He's in his late 60s. He just barely uses a smart phone. I don't think he's interested in learning a complex system or the extra work of an android type unit. I think something mainstream with an OEM like interface would be much better. He's also retired and on a relatively small budget. My experience is limited to older single din head units and the android based units. As such I'm asking for suggestions and recommendations.
Installation isn't an issue, just not sure about the actual units.
