Hosts J.R. and Eric kick off Season 4 with a nod to our 50th anniversary and an introduction to the show’s new format.

If you’re unafraid of a little DIY and looking to refresh your audio experience in the car, add some safety features, or finally step up to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, this is the perfect listen.

Plus, J.R. and Eric explain why integration gear is essential to getting the most from your new stereo.
