On the configurator, the top of the picture for the enhanced stereo has always been hidden and I could not see all the possibilities. For a short time today, I was able to see the other choices. The top-most choice in the picture showed the front of the stereo folding down and creating a tray with a tablet sitting on it.

This was very interesting. The configurator only displayed this complete picture one time. Can other people see the entire picture (While holding the mouse on the green encircled i)?

It's that way for me too on the first pass but on the second it gets obscured. When I reload the page it's visible again.

No 45's??? or 78's????? Darn I was really hoping for one.
How about an entertainment system for your back seat passenger? Will it play Betamax?

And curb feelers and mud flaps? Those front tires might kick up gravel from the roads !

Reel to reel.

I mean... honestly.....

Thank you very much. You are more helpful than the configurator. I hope they fix this.

Is this all in one unit?
Perhaps the bottom unit is the standard radio?
Is the top unit what you get if you buy SKYZ?
Does not look like a standard DIN slot where we can substitute other stereos.
I can not figure out what the double row of green lights are. (And on the bottom at that.)
I see the red face panel is not flat, but molded to fit around the opening. Perhaps this is why they cost $145.

I wonder if Paul Elio is a gadget geek.

This looks to me like multiple stereo options in one picture. I think the top is infinite skyz, and the 2nd from bottom is probably the enhanced stereo.

Well, then let's start focusing on what's REALLY important in standard equipment:

Will the stereo come with a built-in cassette player?

Probably, that means I'll have to pay extra for the 8-track option.

I know this will probably date me, but what are those items? I haven't heard of them before. Are they like CD's?

I can't tell if your being serious or not. But just in-case you are serious:
A cassette tape was a plastic box about the size of a first-gen iPhone, what was full of magnetic spagetti. You would put the plastic box into a giant box that would try to wind up the spagietti while passing a magnetic field through it. This would cause the spagetti to play music badly.

An 8-track was like an iPod that could hold 8 songs (or less) and was also full of spagetti.

If my recollection is correct, the phonograph was replaced with Magnetic tape made by 3M and the first reel to reels, then an early version of cassettes was introduced with limited popularity. Then in the 70s, a continuous tape system requiring no rewinding exploded onto the scene and was called 8-track. after initial success, the tape tangles from tape sticking in the heads caused the cassettes ro re-emerge as the popular choice. As audio progressed, the electronic 5" floppys were quickly followed by 3 1/2" discs and better design eliminated the interruptions every time you hit a bump in the road.

For those of you who grew up with digital cds and dvds rather than magnetic or physical grooves as storage, count your blessings.
