12string Posted September 3, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 3, 2020 My Company gave me an Amazon gift card for my 30 year anniversary. So I'm looking for stuff. I want a new stereo for the GTI project. Search by car? 10's of thousands of things that may or may not fit my car. OK, let's click on "Electronics". Changes the search to everything Electronics throughout human history. Oh, but I can click "Fits my car". 10's of thousands of things that may or may not fit my car. Back to Car Audio. Too many. Filter by price. A bazillion things I'm not looking for in that price range OK, how about this exact brand and model number of stereo that I found on another website. I get maybe 2 of those and 100's of other stereos that have nothing to do with it. Anybody wanna buy an Amazon card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kzoo Posted September 3, 2020 Share #3 Posted September 3, 2020 First world problem. Amazon rules the world. At least the part that google doesn't own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Far ★ Posted September 3, 2020 Share #4 Posted September 3, 2020 Quote How is Amazon still in business? The post office pays them for every package they ship. I've never had any trouble with their "Fits my XXX", but I've never used it for car stereos. I did use it for brakes for my truck, it worked fine. How much for the gift card I get all my car stereo stuff from Crutchfield. I have a vintage Alpine CD player w/ aux input and XM module in the garage...

I also found it on the Amazon storefront. By the time I could confirm that the Amazon deal was the same (wiring harness and all), they were sold out on Amazon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr Posted September 3, 2020 Share #8 Posted September 3, 2020 I just used them for the first time. Ordered new tired for my bike Sunday night, they were at my house in under 36 hours, about 2/3s the price IF (and I cant) I could buy them in town That is how (I am guessing) they stay in business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
