I haven’t looked into this for a long time but is the aftermarket head unit market still thriving?

Seems like there’ll be lots of plays for folks like Alpine to cater to all the frustrated folks whose factory unit is trash.

Infotainment systems are increasingly inseparable from the car, with vital controls moving into them. Not sure how an aftermarket head unit can compete.
Yeah if I cared that much about this, I'd likely just mount an iPad on my dash. (Understood it's not as nice as CarPlay or the integrated car controls)
