Don't have CarPlay or Android Auto in your car yet? Then use Sony's new 8.9-inch car radio to remedy the situation.

In car entertainment systems often leave a lot to be desired. Some of their operation is reminiscent of an old television. That's why many prefer Apple and Google solutions. With CarPlay and Android Auto, you not only benefit from a familiar interface, but also from many of your smartphone's functions. As many vehicles, especially older ones, are not equipped with Carplay or Android Auto, Sony now offers a solution.

The Sony XAV-AX8000 is expected to be available in late 2019, early 2020 and cost around $600 in the US. digitec will also offer the device in its range. The exact price is not yet known.

As a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
