audio, communication, entertainment and navigation systems.

A 2020 Honda Accord I was looking at did not have GPS anymore. The dealer said that everyone had a phone and people rarely updated the car's maps so they got out of date fast. It didn't have a CD player, but it did still have an AM/FM and it had Bluetooth to allow a phone to provide audio and communications. Essentially they became a display for the phone rather than an independent system.

Better than having an immediately obsolete entertainment system buried in the center stack, in my book. Apple CarPlan and Andoid Auto are the way to go these days.

The last car I bought the dealer said they would add GPS for like $2K or somewhere in that range. I just laughed and bought a $5.95 phone mount so I can use Waze on my phone.

Same here. Bought a 2020 Pilot - no GPS, but I can physically plug my iPhone into the dash, and the big screen is now most of the apps on my phone (”Apple Car Play”).

I’ve had Ford almost begging me to spend lots of money to update my 2015 Mustang GPS. I just toss the letters in the trash with the GOP “please contribute” letters. :-D
