Serious stereo glow up!
My 2009 Toyota Corolla is a little out dated to say the least, and this new stereo gave it a major glow up! I love that I can listen to Spotify, audiobooks, etc. through my car speakers with ease. Instead of battling the several Bluetooth or aux devices that were far less effective in the past. Plus the hands free calling is a game changer!! The microphone they install is top notch quality!
