Ease of use
Many of these systems can now come pre-installed with Apple Carplay, a fantastic operating systems, with clean UI; a simple but extensive head unit upgrade goes a long way, especially if you're looking for something that is easy to use.
Everyone wants to have their phone connect to their car, but many of the options that come with a stock model are usually outdated or difficult to use, as you're forced into using their pre-installed system to connect your phone to the car. Why not make it simpler and get yourself an aftermarket system and save yourself some hassle, at the cost of having an amazing new head-unit with OEM radio, Carplay.
Using Apple Carplay or Dab Radio is a breeze, and more importantly allows you to use the apps that you use on your mobile like Spotify, Apple Maps, Apple Music and much more from behind the wheel of your car, safely and quickly, while also providing the entertainment to go along with it.

Why are they such a hassle?

We prefer to work with a select few providers whose systems and quality we have an immeasurable understanding of.
