If your car still has the factory stereo that feels stuck in 2014, this is one of the cleanest quality-of-life upgrades you can make. The Kenwood DMX4710S 6.8-inch multimedia receiver is $299.99, which is $100 off the $399.99 compared value. The main draw is simple: wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto so you can get modern navigation, calls, texts, and music in a way that feels like your phone—but safer and easier to use while driving.
This is a 6.8-inch touchscreen multimedia receiver designed to replace an older head unit. With wired CarPlay/Android Auto, you plug your phone in and get the familiar interface for maps, podcasts, playlists, and voice control. Wired is also a plus if you prefer a consistent connection and you want your phone to charge while you drive.
It’s a “daily driver” upgrade: clearer interface, easier control of media, and a much better experience for navigation than a phone mount bouncing around on your dashboard.
This deal makes sense because it’s one of the few upgrades that improve every single trip, commute, errand, road trip, everything. CarPlay/Android Auto is especially helpful if you’re relying on your phone for directions and hands-free communication. It reduces the friction and the temptation to mess with your phone while driving.
Also: $100 off matters in this category because you may still need install parts. Depending on your vehicle, you might need a dash kit, wiring harness, antenna adapter, and possibly a steering-wheel-control adapter. If you’re paying for professional installation, that’s another cost. This discount helps offset the “extras” that come with doing it right.
At $299.99, the Kenwood DMX4710S is a solid value if you want to modernize an older car with a clean touchscreen and dependable wired CarPlay/Android Auto. If you’re comfortable handling installation (or you already planned to pay for it), this is a smart time to buy. If you want wireless phone integration specifically, you’ll want a different model—but for a straightforward, reliable upgrade, this deal is easy to justify.
Apple won the PC market’s worst quarter, but that’s not the entire story. It won the race by stumbling less than everyone else.
PC makers shipped just 57 million computers worldwide in Q3, which might look good, but it’s a 21% year-over-year plunge (via Counterpoint Research). And despite Apple’s Mac shipments falling by 11%, to 5.6 million, its market share rose from 8.7% to 9.8%. How did that happen?
Update (October 22 23:54 PT): In response to our query, GM clarified that offline recording support is already available on eligible vehicles. Like Tesla's Sentry Mode, it requires owners to connect a USB drive to save incident recordings, which can be viewed on the vehicle's infotainment screen. The upcoming Connected Cameras feature will build on this by giving owners remote access to these recordings via the revamped OnStar app, allowing them to check footage without walking out to their car.
General Motors has announced plans to add a new Connected Cameras feature to its OnStar service starting next year, giving drivers a way to monitor parked vehicles remotely and capture footage of certain incidents.
Missing out on the self-driving future is a tough pill to swallow, especially as a car enthusiast. But that is what Tesla handed us on Wednesday, without a hint of mercy.
During its October 21, 2026 earnings call, Elon Musk told investors the Cybercab is meant mainly as a ride service. Further, nearly all of them will be owned and managed by Tesla.
