*This is my **Newest.Technology** second one, the first was for my older car. Alexa works way better than an FM tuner bluetooth or for hands free calling. We found it also worked great on the boat. That is why we now own two Echo Auto's.*
Agreed with so much tat attached to the dash probably makes it desirable and easy for thieves to smash and grab. Better off getting an double din headunit and fascia so it fits flush and screw into into the dash to give that integrated factory feel finish.
Well that reversing camera didn't work, he 100% hit the BMW, you can even see the car move when he hit, although they did try to edit it so it didn't look obvious lol
If you didn't have enough of a giant like Google listening to your conversations all day, then add an Amazon device with 8 mics, just to make sure they hear you too, even in the car. How "convenient". You can buy aftermarket in car multimedia systems into most cars that have 2 DIN size space for it. It frees you from pluging in so many stuff and it can use reversing camera + dashboard camera with collision warning and lane keep assist. The decent ones have Android systems on it and it can use free navigation too that can be updated through WiFi. You can also have a DAB receiver with it. Most with bluetooth too that can connect compatible TPMS systems too. So, more or less, ALL IN ONE instead of the 4 gadgets you presented. Anyway, it was good to call up attention to such stuff. :o)
I'd be lost without having android auto. Upgraded my headunit in my last car to one that had android auto and apple carplay and my current car came with sat nav but activated the android auto feature on there as I find it much better to use. Can listen to my music and playlists while using Google maps for directions. Definitely would of been better to have spend the money on upgrading a headunit with dab and Android auto and even a few of them can have a reverse camera fitted to them.
An new video in the modern world. Those wheel sensors are terrible, there going to get nicked. The tracker could be pulled out. The dab radio could be inserted in an actual unit, without sticking that god awful thing on the dash. Alexa unit does not look 'neat' it looks an eyesaw. Sat nav would be easier. Eventually the research team finally find one decent thing in Android Auto. Then Manage to get a second one slightly correct but at the same time a quick google search would of located a device to do all the above in a simple head unit, or double din unit.
Using your phone, even when the car is stopped, is going to get you into trouble....I'd suggest taking the keys out and plonking them on the dash. Of course, that'll probably turn off all your tech...lol
No, they didn't. Suzuki Jimny's are sought after lil 4x4s and a 15 Yr old one still fetches anywhere between £1,800 and £6,000 depending on condition and mileage.
Suzuki actually offer a really good double din radio that fits perfectly with their bracket in the space and has android auto and apple carplay with a reversing camera and navigation, for less than all those stuff combined, come on man do your research, where has proper motoring journalism gone to 🙈
@@Oystein87 the Suzuki System is a pioneer unit, the new SLDA system from them is actually a Bosch system and that is very good, no need for it to look aftermarket, I prefer the look of oem
Best thing is to just disable all voice assist crap. Then you will not have this issue. I rather use my Logitech remote to controll my homecinema and lights alot faster than with voice commands. And google search I can type since I got fingers to use.
@@RossCanpolat Sounds very unpractical going around talking to shit. By the time you have said "Hey google" I already have adjusted the lights and/or switched my home cinema system from i.e TV watching to movie watching with all devices turning on and off as needed in one push. TYested it along voice control and voice lost big time. Voice is slower, clunkier and often misses the right command. It made me more mad than happy. Voice assist is for people without limbs. Others should stop beewin so god damn lazy they can't even push a single button.
@@Oystein87 so you have to carry a remote control with you all over the house? I can turn on my heat, turn off my lights and get some death metal playing on all speakers on my house all while taking a shit hands free. Try speak more clearly if smart devices can't understand you 😂
You don't highlight the fact that you really need to remove every single piece of tech from the car if you're leaving it for long, or don't have a garage as you'll come back to a lot of broken glass and missing tech. Far less likely with built in offerings.
Built-in offerings from some cars are actualy in extremely high demand and are often stolen so not quite true. And aftermarket tech can be mounted alot better than this so it can be easy hidden etc.
@@Oystein87 Anything that can be stolen and then sold is always going to be in demand, but if you're telling me that it's as easy and quick to steal built in tech as it is to just rip out stuck on gadgets, we'll have to agree to disagree. Most thefts are opportunistic in nature, not by thieves coming prepared with screwdrivers and a miniature socket set.
@@Nite-owl Smart thiefs will rather take the time to learn how and take the original stuff thats actually worth money thatn thirdparty cheap junk so.. Not that hard to tak out original equipment. I did it in a few moments when upgrading the stereo.
@@Oystein87 If I was a thief I'd much prefer to be in and out in 30 seconds rather than the 5 minutes it might take to remove built in equipment. Every second you spend stealing increases the odds of being caught and that doesn't sound particularly smart to me. Surely it's more profitable to rob from 10 different cars and make a quick getaway than to take too long and get caught.
@@Nite-owl And thet's why they learn how to take the original equipment so it's actually worth the time. There is a HUGE market for original equipment but just a small market for cheap crap. So it's basicly: Learn to get the equipment worth anything or keep risking it for spare change from the other crap.

he hit the car whilst reversing hahahah
He did! You can see the BMW tyre move at 6.52 - oops!
Probably forgetting there's a spare wheel that sticks out further than the camera
I'm sure you could have fitted a nice aftermarket android pop-out head unit and integrated most of that tat into once nice looking unit.
Agreed with so much tat attached to the dash probably makes it desirable and easy for thieves to smash and grab. Better off getting an double din headunit and fascia so it fits flush and screw into into the dash to give that integrated factory feel finish.
I was confused at first hearing Jon’s voice with a video of a 20 plate focus. Then I saw the #.
Maybe get a head unit that includes all of these features. Only wires is phone to radio.
How has this guy not aged at all in the last 15 years.
Great video ;-)
I subbed to you
6:50 I think he just bump to that bmw???
Why does he look like Doc from Back to the future? Always enjoyed this reviewer
Omg true
Well that reversing camera didn't work, he 100% hit the BMW, you can even see the car move when he hit, although they did try to edit it so it didn't look obvious lol
Auxiliary fuse box needed with all that tech
Chrisfix
*Old to the new, simple and easy*
This is a useful episode and a very nifty car. Much more sensible than buying a new Cayenne. Thank you!
What? There was a 2020 season for Fifth Gear? He's driving a 20 plate car.
I can't believe Jon Bentley doesn't wear a smartwatch.
Given that this vehicle has regular sized DIN slot, why wouldn't you buy a DIN head unit with DAB and satnav???
If my parents put that car lock thing on my car, I don’t think I’ll be allowed to drive anymore 😅
And like you need any of that tech , to do want you done

What’s even the point of this snippet. No context no outcome and pretty much a random selection of kit

Can this all be done with hidden wiring
I guess you can minimize all these devices with after market head unit . It has android auto and google play and less cheap

Now we just need qentin back!
The tyre pressure monitors just doubled the value of the thing
No, they didn't. Suzuki Jimny's are sought after lil 4x4s and a 15 Yr old one still fetches anywhere between £1,800 and £6,000 depending on condition and mileage.
Nope. They did not even add a dollar to the value
Thought it was valeting time 😂
No,You can do more this days
He could do alot more even back then...
cant believe after 20 years this jimny still looks better than the suv nowadays
How much did you have to drink?
The Jimny never looked good :P
i mean the tech is crappier than the car
I mean.. It's a old episode done by amatures... So... ;)
This is stupid...just get a good android stereo fitted, that can do ALL this & more.
Suzuki actually offer a really good double din radio that fits perfectly with their bracket in the space and has android auto and apple carplay with a reversing camera and navigation, for less than all those stuff combined, come on man do your research, where has proper motoring journalism gone to 🙈
Uhm.. Just buy a good player instead from Pioneer etc. MUCH better and has all those things and more. And get a better sounding amp inside...
@@Oystein87 the Suzuki System is a pioneer unit, the new SLDA system from them is actually a Bosch system and that is very good, no need for it to look aftermarket, I prefer the look of oem
Would it not of just been easier to swap out the head unit for an Apple CarPlay one? Then jus add a camera to it? Seems like a lot of junk he used.
What a load of needless, destracting and quite frankly opressive in the case of some GPS systems tat. It's dangerous.
Plonker. I'm watching this at home and be keeps triggering my Google Home devices. Next time mute the "OK Google" command.
Happens a lot when I'm with my dad when he says it. Ends up pinging mine up 😂

@@Oystein87 eh no thanks, I have 5 google home devices around the house used for triggering switches, lights & heat as well as controlling my tv.

STOP SAYING ALEXA ARRRRRRHHHHHGGGG
Even better: Stop using dumb voice assistants :P
first
I feel sorry for you to have to announce that :(
