Is there a reason why head-unit of the infotainment system cannot be easily upgraded?

[Arainach]

Everything in a car has to be certified for safety. Infotainment systems integrate deeply with cars - they consume and expose a lot of information that isn't guaranteed to be expressed over standard protocols, and most of them aren't even in consistent sizes or shapes.

Yet I can buy a double DIN head unit running android auto and just whack it in my 2012 corolla.

I think the major problems here aren't safety or engineering, they are purely economic.

There is a difference between can and should. Third party entertainment systems should not be a problem. In reality they are because of bad designs.

What about product liability?
